Post-Apocalyptic Abodes

Prepare for the End With the Daiwa EDV-01 Home

— January 20, 2011 — Art & Design
In the event of an apocalypse, natural disaster or even zombies, the Daiwa's EDV-01 home has you covered.

This 10-tonne bad boy is mobile and at a push of a button, turns into a house. This heavy-duty steel structure also has a bedroom, showers and satellite links for communication. If that's not impressive enough, then I should mention that this isn't just a concept, and that Daiwa is actually producing the EDV-01. Should the impending 2012 apocalypse hit, this Daiwa EDV-01 will have you prepared.
