Panic, Anxiety Spark Rush To Build Luxury Bunkers For LA's Super Rich. Oscar winners, sports stars and Bill Gates are building lavish bunkers — with amenities ranging from a swimming pool to a bowling alley — as global anxiety fuels sales and owners "could be the next Adam and Eve." Given the increased frequency of terrorist bombings and mass shootings and an under-lying sense of havoc fed by divisive election politics, it's no surprise that home security is going over the top and hitting luxurious new heights. Or, rather, new lows, as the average depth of a new breed of safe haven that occupies thousands of square feet is 10 feet under or more. Those who can afford to pull out all the stops for so-called self-preservation are doing so - to prepare for anything from nuclear bombings to drastic climate-change events. Sales at the most upscale end of the market — mainly to actors, pro athletes and politicians (who require signed NDAs) — have increased 700 percent this year compared with 2015, and overall sales have risen 150 percent. "Any time there is a turbulent political landscape, we see a spike in our sales. Given this election is as turbulent as it is, we are gearing up for an even bigger spike. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/bunker-builders-anticipate-lucrative-trumpocalypse-932748 #Security #HNW #HNWI #UHNW #UHNWI #Mansion #Mansions #Property #Home #Homes #Hardened #HardenedStructures #Instadaily #Instapic #Instagood #News #Construction #Build #Building #Architect #Architecture #Engineer #Engineering #RealEstate #Luxury #Luxe #Security #Billionaire #Billionaires #billionairesclub #millionaires @financialtimes @dailymail @dailymailonlineo

"Safe As Houses: How The Super-Rich Make Their Homes Super-Secure" FT Financial Times UK http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/069be746-6f92-11e6-a0c9-1365ce54b926.html An informed and in-depth FT article with technology playing an ever increasing role within the security sector. The aesthetics of home fortification is an interesting subject with many risk mitigation elements coming into play to ensure the desired outcome. http://hardenedstructures.blogspot.com.au/2015/09/the-aesthetics-of-home-fortification.html "To keep both animate and inanimate house contents safe, vinyl polymer coatings make windows blast-resistant, to deter the traditional smash-and-grab raid. Fast-acting security shutters can block off key rooms, creating secure areas in the event of a break in. However, the best retreat in an emergency is a safe room. Typically, owners choose the main bedroom, reinforcing it with a steel door and strengthened walls." http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-3778417/Fingerprint-scanners-door-blast-resistant-windows-helipad-emergency-evacuations-super-rich-homes-secure.html #Security #HNW #HNWI #UHNW #UHNWI #Mansion #Mansions #Property #Home #Homes #Hardened #HardenedStructures #Instadaily #Instapic #Instagood #News #Construction #Build #Building #Architect #Architecture #Engineer #Engineering @financialtimes @dailymail @dailymailonline
