This abode is called the Z House by architects Hohyun Park and Hyunjoo Kim and looks like it was built for a superhero.

Is it me, or is it shaped like a lightning bolt? Fierce. Located in Gwangju Si near Seoul, this Z Shaped House is perched on top of a steep hill, great for keeping an eye on enemies.

It's also situated in a very private location, surrounded by woods to the west with views surrounding the mountains, therefore perfect for conducting private super hero affairs without meddlesome neighbors.

I wonder who lives here? Could it be Zorro?
