FIRE SAFE | WEATHER SAFE | EARTHQUAKE SAFE | HIGH SECURITY

The pyramid shape is close to being the perfect shape; some will even claim it has special powers in the shape itself, having an energy field, while others feel it is a symbol of power. Regardless of what others make of it, our concept is to have a very solid building where one person can defend it and be safer than in any other above ground building, including the domes.

Even if domes are stronger when built to the same standards, they are harder to defend by one person.

There are a few pyramids out there, with some being built out of wood and others being impractical and too small or poorly designed. Our pyramid is unique with many exclusive features not found in any other pyramid; not only is it completely fireproof, it will resist any tornado or hurricane with ease and will withstand even a large earthquake without any serious damage. This is because it is built as a one piece structure, and it will even resist an explosion blast at close distance or a nuclear one, because the angle of the walls will deflect most of the blast force, as it will deflect projectiles and bullets.

The pyramid will be the best structure to survive a massive flood or tsunami because it has living space as high as 40 feet above ground; even more because the top balcony in the design shown sits at about 48 feet above ground, (kitchen, bath, family room, and extra bedroom are 20 feet above ground).The pyramid can't be tipped over by a massive wave either.

We are aware that some space is lost because of the angles of the exterior walls, but it has no roof or attic that offsets most of the loss of usable space, even if most can be used either for mechanical equipment or storage.

The angle we are proposing, 57.65 degrees (but it could be down to 56 or even 55) is the best compromise. Even if it may look a little steep, a wider bottom will take too much space. But one can use any angle, even making it close to the GREAT PYRAMIDS OF GIZA with an angle of 53.13 degrees, but at those angles one can almost walk up on the walls, which creates a security issue. When built in conjunction with a bunker directly underneath, it will be the ideal place to ride a 2012 scenario or the great tribulation of the Bible. It can survive an assault by a small armed force, not to mention it being the ideal place to invite friends over to enjoy the wonderful force of nature in tornadoes and hurricanes in a place that is completely safe.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Foundation, exterior walls and floors all solid concrete; it could also be all steel.

Solid concrete walls angle from exterior corners to corners of center shaft making it very rigid. The shaft is actually off-center to accommodate design requirements, another of many exclusive details in our pyramid, giving it a real one-piece integrity to the point it could be tipped over or picked up and retain its shape.

Shown size is 76'x76' base by 60' high. But it could be 80'x60' and larger. 76'x60' or larger is the ideal size for a large pyramid because it provides enough garage space and a center shaft, that makes the pyramid stronger, but one can build it 60'x48', 50'x40', 40'x32', and even 30'x24' if one is looking for an extra safe small apartment over a bunker, while having a defensible above ground location.

3 Garages that are completely separated from one another; and one could be workshop.

Center shaft of solid concrete for stairs and elevator, also one could have an escape emergency stairway that will lead to the basement/bunker, a dumbwaiter and even a slider can be incorporated on it.

4 Cameras and 4 lights cover the all the house and if desired four remote controlled weapons.

Easy to defend or watch by one person, clean flush outside has nowhere to hide for possible intruders.

Angled sides make it the perfect location for installing solar panels in a place that can be defended, which is another thing one can't do with a dome.

Windows shown are for demonstration purposes. Windows will have exterior solid shutters with security bars, or a louver type shutter that doesn't need security bars, all made of 1/4 inch steel minimum. We have an exclusive electric powered louver window SHUTTER that allows light to go through, and will protect you against intruders and even bullets, bringing you true 24/7 piece of mind. Shutters will automatically close when the alarm is activated or even when wind increases above a certain speed; bullet proof glass is also possible.

Doors are 1/4 inch steel minimum. Extra safe bunker doors with triple steel and concrete core are also available. Garages can open up or out or have a 2 piece sliding door with a bolt shut option and even a tilt down option like in toy-haulers; again triple steel with concrete core is also available.

The front door can be slider, hinged, or tilt and will have either a secondary door or a safety bar system. All doors are motorized with manual back-up and like windows, they are connected to alarms and can be remote controlled. Doors connecting the garage to the house will be sealed tight and will be 1/4 inch steel minimum.

The pyramid could be built uncapped with a 3rd floor only to a height of approximately 34 feet with a balcony on top and a possible helipad.

Exclusive air circulation system in conjunction with A/C system will reduce energy consumption by 5O% or more. The exterior wall is 8 inches of concrete with dual rebar layer, then 2 inches space with circulating air going through a thermal mass or other conditioning method and an inside wall a minimum of 4 inches with an R value of 25 or more. It has dual windows of triple pane glass with air circulating in between the windows.

AS shown 5000 square feet approximately, 5 bedroom 6 bathroom.

Fourth and fifth floor includes balcony overlooking family room.

Will include defense systems and other safety features if necessary.

Top raises on mechanical rams exposing the balcony, using no air or oil rams because a pressure failure could be catastrophic. Even if two mechanical rams fail the top won't collapse.

All stairs meet building codes.

We also have a variation to the pyramid form that can be a pentagon, an octagon, or even a cone. Also one could add balconies at all levels or do open balconies/platforms from the fourth floor up.
