CGAN Nov. 2014 Challenge: Zombie Proof House, WIPs

Title: Zombie Proof House
Brief: I hope nobody minds that I continue the halloween and zombie theme. You see, Kazky really needs a zombie-proof house, so I thought we could design one for her. It's up to you whether it's for a small or large number of survivors, and whether it's a landscape shot, architectural type drawing, floor plan or cutaway view - or a combination of several views. There should at least be something to make the viewer understand just why the house is safe, though.

Deadline: Sunday November 30th, by midnight GMT.
This is where you posts your wips (works in progress). You final entry should be posted over here:

oh with such a house one can STOMP the zombies!

I do hope we'll get some participation. I thought it would be fun but I'm not sure I'll have time for any scribbles, myself... Anyway, like I said in the "brief", it's up to you how to present your house. If "architectural concepts" feel difficult, maybe there is another angle (as in technique, style etc, not angle of the building although I guess that might be true as well!) that will feel more comfortable.

oooh drat I forgot to tally the votes on last month's yesterday! Will try to remember when I get home today!

I'm literally always planning my zombie proof house (I know, I have a problem! ) And I always start with a removable stair case (anyone read the zombie survival guide?) and a huge storage area for food & supplies.

I doesn't matter what you do they will get you eventually. Based on every film I have seen, and every book I have read I know that one of the following will always happen.

1. Despite being in a perfectly secure and contained environment where everyone should be completely safe, one member of the group will suddenly panic for no explicable reason and run out of the secure environment leaving the door open. This will result in their death and the death of everyone inside the previously secure environment which is no longer secure.
2. One member of the group will go mental and either sympathise with the Zombie hordes, or will become obsessed with finding a cure for them inevitably bringing them inside the safe environment and allowing them to escape and infect everyone who wasn't previously infected.
3. One member of the group will be a psychotic lunatic that will kill off everyone before the Zombies can do it.
4. If not in a group, you will slowly slack off on your security over time, or suddenly become incompetent and allow your previously secure environment to become not so secure.
5. If not in a group, you will gradually become depressed from the long period of being the last survivor and allow the first stranger you encounter to come and live with you out of a need for companionship. The stranger will them do one of the previously listed things and get you killed.

You are doomed.
