This house outside Warsaw by Polish architect Robert Konieczny transforms from a villa by day to a fortress by night. Called Safe House, the residence shuts down to a safe central core with a drawbridge, a shutter that drops down to cover an entire facade and massive wall panels that block out all the windows.
