Pretty neat but why would somebody need something like this?

I think the footprints in the snow would give a secret door away here.

I don't that's kind of ninja actually. I might.

I once went to a party at the house Richard Garriot (Origin software guy) had in Austin a long time ago. He had secret passages in that house, amongst other unusual features. That was pretty cool.

I would expect Lord British to have an extremely cool house.

That door is awesome. I'd love to have something like that.

In regards to the footprints in the snow, you could easily camouflage them by putting down additional footprints going around the back corner of the house, etc.

My MIL's old house had a hidden staircase. I didn't see the point of it but I did think it was neat.

They needed to stagger the siding, be easy to spot if you were close.

I guess one benefit here is no burglar is going to try and break into it...

A house with no visible doors. Genius! That would certainly keep solicitors away.

There is actually some humor in this. I'm thinking of HOA communities that specify square footage, number of floors and style of homes that can be built there, where they will be built, width of trees that can come down, width of trees that need special permission, what color the house will be, how long it can take to be built, whether garages can be separate or integral, whether the house must face the street....but never thought to regulate that every house should have a front door!
