I want to build a house on the moon, but because of the lack of
atmosphere, asteroids can hit my house and hurt me.

So which material should I use to be 100% asteroid-proof ???

Nothing is asteroid proof. Dig a hole in the moon and build your 
steel box or sphere and cover it up with rock. Do the math on 
the frequency, size and speed of aneroid hits and find the size 
hole and cover of rubble you feel save with.
