One Man's Visoin of an Atlas F site

 

one mans vision of an atlas F site

A Very Special Dream of a potential Residential Project from Blue Sky

These types of properties are aimed at individuals who are seeking the ultimate in home security, personal space and personal security in a way never before achievable. 

This designed to be built at a declassified ICBM (Intercontinental Ballistic Missile) launch facility buried two hundred feet into the Kansas (USA) countryside. Built for the American military to withstand a direct nuclear attack, this facility originally cost the US Government tens of millions of dollars to construct and fit out. De-commissioning of these sites followed the end of the cold war hostilities to conform to Treaty Agreement with the former Soviet Union which continues to up the present day. The World’s End facility has remained unused and in mothballs until now.

With an innovative approach, this once unusable space can become an appealing and attractive proposition for use as a home for those people who are keen and interested in their personal safety and security. Equally the facility can be used for commercial purposes, research or storage of valuable items, company files, records, art treasures etc in this hermetically sealed environment. 

As can be imagined, gaining entrance into is practically impossible with walls up to fifteen feet thick of heavily re-enforced concrete and steel, blast doors up to six feet thick and up to 150 tonnes in weight buried up to 200ft deep underground into the surrounding countryside.

General Layout
It would be positioned on a site some 20 acres in size of which 5 acres with a barbed wire topped chain link security fence with substantial gates as the first noticeable point of security.

The site would be nestled in a secluded and elevated position with mainly prairie grass and outcrops of small dense pine trees and scrub marking the entrance to the development. Extensive planting will take place immediately surrounding the site at the end of the construction project to further disguise the entrance to the entry portal. 

The entry portal has been re-modified to allow a new hangar deck and parking space for Helicopters and RV’s / SUV’s (Recreational Vehicles / Sports Utility Vehicles) although there is nothing above ground level to suggest the large-scale site that exists beneath the earth’s surface.

This is were the fun begins !
Watch in awe as the massive hangar entry portal hydraulically lifts up taking with it a section of the outside ground and scrub coverage, with six foot thick covering of earth, trees and vegetation. At the rear of the entry hangar is a twenty tonne steel armour plated blast door with the main hydraulic lifters concealed behind the door and the door closes flush with the back wall, this conceals a further doorway (the main entry point to Worlds End) which is an additional six inches thick steel re-enforced door. An electronic dual interlocking system allows access trough these main doorways.

The hangar walls themselves are made of an additional one metre thick re-enforced concrete which a 1 inch thick steel shield surrounding this concrete wall, which is then covered by thousands of tonnes of surrounding earth. More than enough to withstand the attentions of any persistent intruder.

From the entrance door well you then proceed down two flights of stairs then through two more blast proof pressure doors leading into the former command centre itself.

The Command Complex
This former command complex has two levels with approximately 2500 sq ft of floor space, not including the stairwells and vestibule, a large enough space for three bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms and an adjoining emergency exit. A separate staircase has also been built into the design to the lower level which contains a large contemporary kitchen, living room and utility plus storage space.

On the remaining level of the Command Complex there are two further blast doors leading into the former silo access tunnel, a 40 foot by ten foot passageway with two more blast door locks leading onto level 2, the Main Silo Complex consisting of 14 individual levels.

Main Silo Complex (14 levels)
During the Cold War this space housed the gigantic Atlas F ICBM Rocket. It now makes way for 14 levels of luxury living space, entertainment sections and storage space. 

Here is a small taste of what lays beneath terra ferma……

The silo itself runs 200ft directly into the earth with a 50 foot diameter allowing for up to fourteen floor levels of varying height in the complex. More than enough room for entertaining space, personal gym, private cinema, swimming pool, additional accommodation space and vast amounts of secure, private and hermetically sealed areas for your own enjoyment or commercial use.  

Below is a Dream of How the Missile Bay could be retrofitted to become luxury accomidations

Level 1 consists of a loading bay with a 20ft ceiling height, hangar deck, air bio filter system, intake fans, plant and machinery rooms, large water storage tanks, fuel stores and general space for a workshop. A cargo lift is located on this level and provides access to all lower levels within the main silo. The lift is of the standard that you would expect in a luxurious hotel.
