If you're looking to build a zombie-proof house, you need to start by hiring or taking a look at the real-life design from KWK Promes. Dubbed “The Safe House", this place has movable walls, which allow you to change from a very open living space into a zombie-proof safe house. Continue reading to check out pics of the house...

The source didn't provide any details on the location or movable elements, so we did some digging and found this:

"...located in Warsaw, Poland... the most distinguishable element of the design is the moveable exterior wall components that allow the house to be completely closed to its environment or open and connected to the rural landscape. while the initial read of the design might seem confining, the house, when in its open state, offers immense transparency while establishing a strong relationship to the site.

...mobile elements include large 'shutters' which essentially are hinging exterior walls ranging up to 3.5m in length. a drawbridge from the upper floor provides access to a roof terrace above the swimming pool. all the moveable components are mechanically operated with built-in electronic engines.

...the cuboid building is a concrete monolith, while its non-fixed components are composed of light steel trusses filled with mineral wool to ensure complete insulation. All exterior surfaces are clad with cement-bonded particleboards."
