A reinforced structure, situated below the concrete slab of a residential parking area, designed to provide refuge during severe weather events. It represents a subterranean safe space easily accessible from within the home’s parking area.
These installations offer protection from tornadoes and other dangerous atmospheric phenomena, providing near-immediate access and eliminating the need to venture outside during hazardous conditions. Their integration into the residences structure can also offer greater peace of mind to inhabitants, particularly in regions prone to extreme weather. The concept is rooted in the need for readily available, secure spaces within the domestic environment, evolving from simpler shelters to engineered solutions.
