Zombie safehouses, Architecture design contest

In the end who will save mankind from the Zombie Apocalypse? It is our belief that artists, designers, and architects will need to weigh in heavily to provide Safe Houses that can stand an assault on civilization. Don’t be caught unprepared, sign up today and register for the 2011 Zombie Safe House Competition, you may be our last hope.

DAM CITY
This got my vote. Except it would need far more area for argiculture or low population.
Its concept is really well thought out. An armored gate to close of the dam itself and boating facilities.

A castle from 1300-1500 with modcons installed.
 
most of the designs are ostentatious and attract too much attention. zombies are not the only problem in a future zombie apocalypse. you also have to guard against healthy, non-infected humans who are on the prowl individually or in marauding bands in a desperate search for food, shelter and supplies. anything that stands out and are too flashy might act like a magnet.

a concealed underground bunker stocked with food, weapons, books, clothing, medicine and running water is fine by me already. kind of like the bomb shelter in The Road but much bigger. i won't have any need for electronic devices because they are unreliable and will certainly run out of juice after months of isolation and power failure.

and i'll probably keep a bug out bag, a bike and extra provisions for when i need to travel to a safer area.
 
Who needs a safehouse when Godwynn is around?

It's the zombies that will need one.
 
I'd hole up in a castle on an island with a bunch of followers. I could farm and fish there, zombies couldn't reach it, and if they did, they'd be mowed down. If this lasted a while, I could get cap-a-pie mail, a zweihander, and so on. Zombies would have immense difficulty dealing with a fully-armored opponent when armed with nothing but teeth and fingernails.
 
I liked the weapons dealer's setup in Dawn of the Dead remake. He busted out the stairs leading up to the roof, and kept enough food to last a while. Good times with a sniper rifle and a ton of bullets. Might as well be classy if you gotta live through the zombie apocalypse.
