Here’s a link Ive been sitting on for a while.

While many of these ‘bunker’ houses are built the way they are for aesthetic reasons, there are some properties of the designs that would translate quite nicely to my own needs. I’ve always thought a concrete house would be nice but they would all look like parking garages. Then I spot this lovely Japanese house:

Nice, isnt it? Check out the other pictures at the link. I might put in less large glass windows, but I like the way it looks. Solid and impervious without looking like the Führerbunker . I wonder about the durability of the waterproofing treatment on the roof, but Im sure there are alternatives.

Either way, nice looking place and I wouldnt mind having something along those styles.

The other buildings in the article are interesting, although most of them arent really bunkers in the sense that theyre more secure than the average home. Still, fun to read.
