That's what the small balcony is for.
It's called a poop deck
Don't Look Up.
I'm pretty sure there is a central pipe in between the 4 legs at the center of the house. That must carry the pipes.
ah i think you are right. it's obscured by the front leg so i didn't see it.
And those pipes connect to where? Gopher holes? This doesn’t seem like it’s close to any municipal utilities. I suppose it could go to some kind of septic system? It all seems pretty inconvenient. Looks neat though.
There is plenty of space under and around it to be able to have a old style septic/leach-field setup. We use that style at my house still since theres no public utility. Basically all a septic is is a big tank buried underground (although in some cases as long as you had some form of liner to prevent cave in you could use that) and then a outflow to send the liquids to a leach-field.
In a post apcolyptic scenario I expect that hardest part of that would be actually pumping or removing the solid waste when the tank is full, would likely need to be a manual pump.
getting water that high though is going to need a pump as well.
If you maintain the bacteria and don’t flush heavy paper products (and definitely not wipes!), a properly designed septic can go decades without needed pumping.
Especially true with the newer aerobic systems.
It's hidden from view in this picture, but there's a wider drain pipe in the center.
Hole in the bottom for poop.
This is actually just a really nice out-house.

Goddamn zombies. Goddamn greydwarves.
greydwarves
They're annoying until you need their eyes to make a portal network...
Find spawner. Dig pit under spawner. Put tamed wolves in pit. Never ate so much eyescream.
Good thinking for the zombie apocalypse. Less optimal for bringing your groceries in each day / week.
Idk, zombies would have a lot of space to pile up around the struts, and that structure looks way easier to pull down than a normal foundation
The best base design I found in 7 Days to Die was to do essentially this, but dig a pit down to bedrock underneath the house. The zombies pile up around it, push each other in, and die. If your supports are far enough away, they don't get attacked (you basically want to make an A-shaped design, rather than an H.)
Obviously, since 7 Days to Die is a perfect simulation of an actual zombie apocalypse, this is the optimal real-life solution, as well.
So basically a dry moat. I wonder if you could compost those zombies with some sort of Hügelkultur setup. Would composting the zombies destroy the pathogen responsible for the zombification process? Could produce grown from that eventually contribute to immunity to the zombie pathogen? Maybe they could address this in the inevitable sequel, 7 Years to Die (co-produced by Danny Boyle).
Zombies don’t reproduce right? So at some point you have to run out of humans for them to turn. Seems like it wouldn’t take very long for them to all die off.
It would take way less than people think, they are dead corposes, they will decompose very fast (especially in warm areas!) And more they decompose, less they can move;
If i remember correctly, it would take around a year for corposes to decompose but many would loose the ability to do dangerous actions some months before
I mean it's the same as living up in any ol' apartment building without lift

As an imediate solution yes, but for long time living in an apocalypse not really. It's missing a balcony or outdoor place that could be turned into a farm. Otherwise you will keep needing to go.out for groceries in the midle of an apocalypse
It's not a war against different enemy types. It's a war against their pathfinding.
This is the only actual answer.
that platform could just be a huge scissor lift to get things like for large appliances, furniture, and their mom.
Don't talk about my mom that way! What did she ever do to you?
It would be faster to list the things she hasn't done to me
Whelp, that's enough internet for me today.

I'm assuming the real purpose of this house is the view over the trees rather than protection.
Possibly! Where I'm located, building regulations require the lowest floor of the structure to be one foot higher than the mapped 100 year flood elevation. Most affected parcels are left vacant, but this is how I'd expect folks to get around that requirement if they were determined to build in those areas.
I assumed it was to cope with heavy snowfall but that makes sense too.
Just need to replace those four supports with a single pillar made out of soap, cut down all that disgusting greenery, and pump a bit of magma about to brighten the place up, and you'd have the beginnings of a respectable fortress. The obsidian-and-steel scheme is a nice touch.
"Hey my wheelchair bound friend wants to visit."
"Um... uh... well..... Do you think they will mind sleeping in their car?"
Awesome birdhouse, with some changes.
Baba Yaga's house. Modern style
It’s a lot simpler than the picture, but I always felt fascinated by the 1st-story parking arrangement. A building just appears as a parking lot dotted with support columns and a single elevator/stairway room; and above is the entire building.
who tf is jimothy
Best i can tell with limited searching, its a gay friendly coffee house in MN. Most of the reviews seems to be talking about trying to see Jimothy and being excited when they finally get to see Jimothy. Its become a bit of a local attraction because of people stopping by to see Jimothy. Some reviews:
I traveled from Colorado to see Jimothy and I was not disappointed. My husband and I stopped by on the way to the sculpture garden. What a powerful experience to be in the presence of Jimothy!
While I did not see Jimothy, I could feel his presence. It was a magical and transforming experience almost looking into the eye of the beholder. Jimothy’s presence gave me strength and his existence gives me purpose. I love Jimothy.
Im not certain, but i think Jimothy is a cat.

The cage around the staircase is too much I think, it looks too massive next to the house. Would be prettier open with just a railing
Sounds like something a zombie would say!
Rawrrr! xD
"Ok, now who wants to help me move a couch up these stairs?"
But it looks pretty.
goddamn quadrupedal chicken leg house
Great for floodplains tho
Not that great for hurricane hills tho
I usually build behind/on top of a waterfall.
