One guy in Australia has a garage that is fit for a superhero. As revealed in photos by the Aussie architectural firm, Molecule, the client, who was not named, wanted to contract the firm for an truly one-of-a-kind project—to recreate the underground garage from The Dark Knight for his home.

The mansion happened to be a red brick heritage house that would not be a far stretch of the imagination to see Bruce Wayne himself residing in. Fittingly, the firm nicknamed the project the Wayne Residence when they set to work on building the coolest real-life underground Batcave.

According to Molecule's website, the wealthy client requested they build him his futuristic garage to house his car collection but at the same time "upgrade and update the home’s condition and capabilities while respecting its heritage quality and evident beauty."

To give the client what he wanted but still preserve the existing neo-Gregorian beauty and balance of the existing home and surroundings, the firm decided to give the client an underground garage through a hydraulic ramp ingeniously concealed at the baselines of the tennis court.

The garage is also accessible from inside the house through a staircase.

The construction of the garage needed a massive excavation, which was then infilled, and the entire garden was resoiled and relandscaped to perfectly conceal the garage beneath the turf. Although the area of the basement is not nearly as big as the Batcave from The Dark Knight, Molecule was once again able to work through the problem by giving an illusion of endless space with the use of floor to ceiling mirrors. The result is an underground garage "Batcave"—a perfectly hidden secret beneath a perfectly landscaped heritage home.
