Would this luxury billionaire bunker in Poland really survive a zombie apocalypse?
Worried about nuclear war, climate change or zombies? Complete with a pool, drawbridge and outdoor cinema, this Safe House in Warsaw, Poland offers maximum security without compromising luxury
If nuclear war, climate change or zombie apocalypse doomsday predictions keep you up at night, here’s a real estate investment you may want to consider.
It’s a gigantic concrete monolith on the outskirts of Warsaw, Poland, with sliding exterior walls and an aluminium roll-down gate – made by a company that normally supplies shipyards – that means its residents can block out the outside world almost completely.
When it shrinks [into defensive mode] you can say it's ugly, it's a block – but when it opens, it becomes a friendly, nice, interesting building
Dubbed the Safe House and designed by architect Robert Konieczny, the home was built for clients whose “top priority was to gain the feeling of maximum security in their future house”, according to the website of Polish architecture firm KWK Promes.
The important question: Would it survive a zombie apocalypse?
Take a look inside and judge for yourself.
When sealed off, the Safe House appears to be a solid concrete steel block from the outside.
The house took three years to build and was completed in 2008.
