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!

Trend Themes
1. Concrete Architecture - There is opportunity for architects to explore more innovative and sustainable uses of concrete in building design.
2. Bomb Shelter Homes - There is potential for designers to create affordable living spaces that can double as bomb shelters or safe rooms.

Industry Implications
1. Architecture - Architects can take advantage of the durability and versatility of concrete to create unique and sustainable homes and buildings.
2. Real Estate - The construction of bomb shelter homes could create a new niche market for affordable yet secure living spaces in areas prone to natural disasters or civil unrest.
