APOCALYPTIC – PROOF HOUSE

By Miryam Muller on 4 September 2012

There’s something oddly enjoyable about planning for the end of the world and if your friends are at all like mine, you may have discussed with them the hypothetical scenario of an apocalypse and how you’d prepare for such an event. In such conversation, it will likely lead to a good mixture of the practical, the ridiculous, and the ridiculously practical. This home for instance was designed specifically to be zombie-proof, keeping you and your family safe in the event of the dead rising.

When the home is in its ‘fortress’ mode, sealed up tight, it looks like little more than a huge concrete box. Essentially, that’s exactly what it is, a concrete bunker with thick walls, designed to keep out the zombie menace. When in this state, there appear to be only two ways to enter the home. The primary door is located on the second floor, and accessible only by a sturdy drawbridge. Zombies hate drawbridges. Just below it, you can see two massive, swinging doors which open into what I imagine must be the garage. After all, while gas may be difficult to find, it can be important to go scouting in a vehicle in search of food, supplies, or other survivors. Given that the heavy doors can only open outward, it’s unlikely that even a living human could pry them open.

As effective and practical as the house looks for such purposes, one wonders who would want to live in such an ugly home, especially given how unlikely a zombie apocalypse actually is. Fortunately, the house actually looks pretty appealing when opened up for everyday, non-apocalyptic living.

SHOPPING GUIDANCE

SHOPPING GUIDANCE

We often get the request of where to shop in our city. This is not an easy question, because we could never make you part of the true feeling of being an “Amster- dammer”. Imagine: ... being on your bike, hopping from one end to other parts of town, having a coffee or a drink, enjoying the beauty of the city, saying “hi” to friends ... In short, we love Amsterdam, which is not easy to translate in words, when you’re not a poet.
On the other hand addresses change, pop-up stores come and go, so we can never be accurate in providing the right maps all the time.
We finally found a solution and created a set-up giving an overview of the most important areas of the city, describing the “feel of the barrio”.
We are suggesting some shops, pointing out local brands and stores etc. Are interested? Do click in the image for further information.
