    Bunkers as Shelters

    Modern bunkers, also known as underground security shelters, have entered a new era of architecture, revolutionizing the concept of personal and family protection against extreme emergencies.
    These high-security shelters, which are very popular worldwide, are no longer exclusive to individuals with great wealth; now everyone can access them. They are also no longer simple underground rooms with bunk beds and canned food, but can offer all kinds of amenities, and the possibility of feeling comfortable in them, not prisoners due to the circumstances that led you to live there.

    In a world where emergencies and natural disasters can strike without warning, owning a bunker is an investment in security and peace of mind. From natural to man-made disasters, from earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, and fires, to pandemics, radiological threats, nuclear explosions, bombings, and terrorist attacks, our bunkers are fortified structures that provide solid and secure protection, designed for direct and simple installation anywhere one chooses.

    The creation of these innovative underground emergency shelters, responds to the growing demand for sustainable and personalized survival solutions, which gave rise to the idea of making them from recycled shipping containers. They are customizable, resistant, easy to install, and capable of facing all types of risks. Their goal is to contribute to home security by feeling like part of the home itself.

    The idea of leveraging the qualities of shipping containers, promoting the reuse of little-recycled materials, and  transforming them into bunkers or even vaults, with the vision of providing safe and isolated spaces, originated from the French company Florence Sanner. Initially aimed at those seeking a safe, practical, and secure place to protect themselves, the goal is to provide security during a confinement period that can last from a few days to weeks, offering a robust and modular solution, as the assembly of several of these shipping containers allows for infinite combinations. 

    In many countries around the world, especially in the United States, these containers are being used as bunkers with increasing frequency, although in other countries their use has also spread to the manufacture of offices, homes, or annexes, becoming a more economical and quicker to implement alternative to conventional construction, simply  by adding windows for good lighting. 
    Furthermore, the possibility of placing more than one allows for expansion as desired or adapting the dimensions according to needs.

    On the other hand, they can also be a good alternative to so-called "safety rooms," or to create isolated and secure spaces to cope with moments of anxiety, sensory crises, or others, adapting them to individual needs.
