Pudding's Sunday Design Supplement: ARCHITECTURE OR BATMAN?

The 'safe house', designed by Polish architects ‘KWK Promes’ epitomises an architects' chicken & egg scenario - does Form follow Function?
Built in Warsaw, this house has the ability to transform from a contemporary villa into a robust concrete bunker at the touch of a button. Question is, is this architecture or just super-hero culture gone mad?

The ‘open’ villa has clean lines, an abundance of open space, clear sight lines for cohesion between one living space and another, ambient leisure facilities and maintains a consistent relation with the surrounding landscaped grounds. It demonstrates areas of both peace and dynamism.

And the ‘closed’ villa demonstrates the ultimate in property security measures and would rival  even the Batcave in the secrecy department and could certainly give the Transformers a run for their money.  But this is not a fictious project,  it is a living, breathing home and that's what makes it quite remarkable.

So, in answer to the question: It is both.  The architects of this design have successfully proven that Form and Function are by no means mutually exclusive and their ability to translate the requirements of their client into this unforgettable property should be applauded. Ingenius......What an inspiring way to start a Sunday!
