Tesla-inspired zombie-proof bunker sees surge in interest after Russian architect adds ‘coronavirus protection’
- St Petersburg-based architectural firm says it has come up with ‘system of protection against coronaviruses’ for the custom-made bunker house
- Architect admits that the house will not be able to rid the owner of the virus if he or she is infected
A futuristic bunker, which claims to protect its owners from doomsday scenarios, such as a zombie apocalypse and a nuclear disaster, has seen a surge in interest after the coronavirus outbreak has been spreading rapidly around the world, according to the Russian architectural firm behind its design.
The Cyberhouse was inspired by electric carmaker Tesla’s upcoming Cybertruck as well as the multilayered protective structure of a submarine, said St Petersburg-based Modern House.
The firm also claimed that their brainchild is “zombie-proof” with its sloped concrete walls and air-locked doors.
At the request of customers, the designers have come up with “an integrated system of protection against coronaviruses”, adding an extra layer of security to the multistorey fortress.
“Interest in Cyberhouse has grown significantly over the past two weeks, and we certainly attribute this to the rapid spread of coronavirus around the world,” said chief architect Alex Wizhevsky of Modern House in an emailed response to the Post.
