Zombie Apocalypse Shelters: Bunker Converted Housing Project

US plans to build dwellings in old bunkers.


Dozens of disaster films are released every year. Particularly popular among them are stories about zombie apocalypses or life after a nuclear explosion. Architects, on the other hand, are looking for their own solutions to such turns of events and are increasingly offering to equip dwellings in abandoned army bunkers..

At the site of the old army ammunition depot, houses will be built in case of a zombie apocalypse.


Company Vivos expressed its readiness to implement the construction of dwellings in case of the end of the world or a zombie apocalypse. These shelters will be located on the site of an old army ammunition depot in South Dakota (USA). There are 575 bunkers in this area, which contained weapons from 1942 to 1967.

Experts expect that the former bunkers will be able to accommodate up to 5,000 people. Water access will be provided by two wells. Each of the families will be able to install a geothermal heating system, and will receive electricity from wind or solar energy. Plus, every shelter is equipped with a special air filtration system that protects residents from biological, chemical and nuclear effects from outside..

Vivos experts hope that in the underground system connecting the bunkers, it will be possible to install a shop, clinic, shooting gallery, restaurant and other entertainment.

575 bunkers will be able to accommodate up to 5,000 people.


Those wishing to purchase residential bunkers will pay $ 25,000, plus $ 1,000 per year will be charged for land leases for 99 years.
As strange as it may sound, today you can find many dwellings converted from bunkers. In particular, the English county of Cornwall is house built on the site of a World War II bunker. The fragile girl spent five years reworking it. Outside, the house practically did not change, but inside it changed dramatically.
