Concept or an actual home,it's darn impressive.

kelmac07 · 05-08-2012, 05:07 PM

Very neat.

smitty81 · 05-08-2012, 05:35 PM

Needs some Razor sharp wire on top that wall though.

TJarv · 05-08-2012, 05:47 PM

Well thats not fair, I want a drawbridge too

mosesbotbol · 05-08-2012, 05:51 PM

That is just wow! I had to go through those photos a few times. Amazing structure.

I would expect an escape tunnel system with added "defense"

measures.

Depends on what means by "safe" or "secure". Hinges on the outside? No indication where the house vents air or if there is a motor generator to prevent the owner being trapped inside. Doubt that the movable concrete is heavily reinforced, so vibration issues and longevity (i.e., fit and cracking) are a concern.

Interesting concept, but loads of practical concerns. Personally, the converted silo houses seem more secure to me.

I want one!

EricF · 05-08-2012, 07:36 PM

They should have just done steel roll up windows like they did the door.
I could sure see myself smoking a cigar on that patio with the door open.

Badass! Functional and stylish all in one!

Energy savings must be huge when the building is closed up for the night.

I don't think it's solid concrete. Those hinges on the windows don't look large enough. I suspect it's built for looks.
