House plans with a shelter and bomb shelter

This section gathers house and building plans with a shelter designed underneath. The purpose of a shelter is to protect the residents' lives during industrial accidents or hostilities that may take place nearby.

How a shelter under the house is built

Shelters are usually placed below ground level. The ceiling above the shelter is reinforced concrete — either monolithic or made of standard reinforced-concrete slabs strengthened by a monolithic reinforced slab. The external walls are concrete: blocks or monolithic concrete.

Entrances and emergency exits of the bomb shelter

Most shelters have two entrances. Another option is a single main entrance plus an emergency pit or hatch — to leave the room if the main entrance is blocked. A protective structure must survive the collapse of the main route, so we treat the backup exit as a mandatory part of the scheme.

A custom house plan with a shelter to your requirements

We design these solutions at the project stage rather than adding them later, because a protective structure must be part of the structural scheme from the very start. If you are planning a house with a protective shelter or bomb shelter, we will design it for your plot and requirements. Get in touch — we will advise the best solution for your level of protection and budget.
