mgconnor13 206 Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Interesting. Not a fan of all the glass but it's cool. I would have used a design that didn't have nothing but right angles. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BpS12 512 Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Very nice. But the problem with fortresses is that the harder they are to get into, the harder they are to get out of, lol. Can we say Massada? I would love to check out the design spec though. It is pretty cool. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Heath_h49008 442 Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 I always wanted something like that... The old "Bauhause box" always looked more logical to me than stick built wood homes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
YARP 300 Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 somebody's got dollar bills! Not a fan of the actual house (I don't like a ton of glass either), but that's a hell of a design. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Heath_h49008 442 Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Concrete and steel would seem to be cheaper than wood in the long run. How expensive is sand and gravel? Rebar isn't terribly expensive either. Imagine the fire safety, disaster safety, storms.. zombies... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Went to college for awhile for architectural CAD and the professors could never understand why I refused to build homes out of wood. The advances in concrete work are NUTS! I helped build an under ground dome home out in CO and have got to say that's my dream home! In MI of course....with an attached light house....and an attached greenhouse...and hanger...and a OK, OK I'll stop Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alexc.s. 25 Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 It needs a moat, or is that taking it to far? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WILLIEVEE 15 Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Excellent, however the aluminum rolling gate in the back seems to defeat the design. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TR Young 175 Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 It needs a moat, or is that taking it to far? Of course it isn't! And the moat needs sharks with frikkin' laser beams on their heads! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They'll stand up to most anything if the mix is done right and not skimped on. Gotta watch those contractors. I always wanted to build one under the hill of a Motte and Bailey hill fort.

BpS12 512 Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 That's the ticket. But mine is a "tad" bit smaller, with three Viking style long house/buildings, in the Bailey, forming a courtyard. Open side facing the Motte. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Domme houses have always been my favorites since I was a kid, and when I was an adult, they were they only houses left standing in Galveston after a Hurricane - nothing for the wind to catch on.

BronCobraJet 80 Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 The Safe House That's a LOT of grass to mow. Cool, though. Real cool. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BronCobraJet 80 Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Coolest house of all time, google Cave House. Located in Festus MO. Used to be a skating rink, then an arena for Rock bands and stuff. Located in the middle of the town, with a canyon view, walk up and you are down town. You will not find a cooler house in all of the USA. It is fantastic. It was EBay for awhile, don't know if it sold or not. Just damn killer. Tina Turner and even Ted Nugent played there. It fucking rocks. Someone who knows how - please post links/pics. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mgconnor13 206 Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 I like the old missile silo but I'd like to build a cement dome Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DogMan 2,343 Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 (edited) It's cool and everything but I think having a house like this tends to paint a target on you, too. If I had that kind of money to play around with I would have a normal house with an underground bunker underneath, or nearby and connected by a tunnel.
