Concrete Block Abodes

The Andrew Golatta Concept House is Solid as a Rock

The Andrew Golatta Concept House is the most beautiful bomb shelter-like structure I have seen yet. Not only is it a sleek piece of architecture but it will likely hold up in the event of a nuclear fallout. It's a win win! Though the interior has a really cool open concept feel, I`m not sure where I stand on the all concrete walls thing. Even with contemporary decor, it would still feel pretty cold in there.

The Andrew Golatta Concept House looks like a pretty near indestructible house. With a cubic design and solid concrete walls, there's no moving this thing. It's like laughing at Mother Nature square in the face!
