Architects design zombie-proof bunker in the style of Tesla’s Cybertruck

The appropriate house for the Cybertruck was developed in Moscow. Designed to withstand bombs and zombie hordes, it’s also a stunning reimagining of the atrium house.
Apparently, the futuristic cyber-tuck inspired a Russian architecture firm to design the right house for the car. When the chief architect Alex Wizhevsky from Modern House Architecture & Design saw the presentation of Elon Musk’s Cybertruck, he wondered what kind of person would drive such an armored car and which house would suit him.”Apparently the car was created to also survive in extreme conditions. It seems to me that for this we need a well-protected house, a kind of fortress, a bunker, where you can safely survive any threat.”
Exciting even without zombies
The presentation oscillates between serious elements of a modern atrium house and influences from the horror series “Resident Evil.” Located in the middle of a treeless steppe, the dwelling should not only look good, but also resist bombs and zombies. A whimsical allusion to the super-rich’s fear of uprisings and apocalypses, which manifests itself worldwide in the construction of basements and bunkers.
It remains to be seen whether the sloping walls can really fend off attacking zombie hordes. Alex Wizhevsky said that his design was inspired by both Tesla design and submarine construction. “When developing the CyberHouse, we took as a basis the principle of building modern nuclear submarines, which consist of several protective shells,” said Wizhevsky. “The multi-layer enclosure proposed in our project provides maximum security from various disasters.” The house is designed for complete autonomy. Electricity is supplied by solar panels and wind turbines. The aim was to guarantee the survival of the residents for a year.
Industrial design language
In fact, the office from Russia succeeded in an interesting reinterpretation of the atrium building. On the outside, the building appears cool and forbidding, on the inside it opens up to a spacious inner courtyard. Although no client has yet been commissioned to build a CyberHouse, the architect assumes that several houses that follow this design language will be sold and built. Prices start at the equivalent of 775,000 euros.
For Modern House Architecture & Design, bold presentation is a way of giving potential clients a hint of future architecture. “World architecture, and now the automotive industry, is moving towards simplification of form, maximum utility and manufacturability,” Wizhevsky said.
