Technology: Zombie-Proof House

Sadly, does not make the Transformers
sound when converting to Safe Mode.
You may have already seen this. If not, you've at least considered the necessity of such a structure. It's really only a matter of time before some secret government facility "accidentally" lets loose some virus out into the world that turns you're next door neighbour into a brainless, brain eating zombie.

So, when shopping for a new house, don't just think about whether or not it can hold all your crap, but whether you and your crap will be safe when the zombie apocalypse finally hits a town near you.

"The Safe House," designed by KWK Promes, starts to get eerily close to something I could work with, if say 200 bludgeoned members of the undead army came over to eat their way into borrowing some sugar. "The most essential item for our clients was acquiring the feeling of maximum security," begins the designers' website in the summary of the structure. Who wouldn't feel safe in a concrete rectangle that folds in upon itself to become completely sealed? Even the windows are covered with a slab of concrete when the structure is on nap time.

The house, with its movable walls, has only one entrance, which is located on the second floor after crossing a drawbridge. Seems like the perfect opportunity to use a flamethrower and defend the life of your family, while stylishly nesting in a piece of architectural elitism awesomeness. Take that, Mr. Big Bad Wolf.
