The Vivos design is based on a spoke and hub complex, with 10 radiating wings surrounding a 2 story central dome. Vivos designed its shelters to provide as much comfort as reasonably possible for its co-owners, with a population density of 1 person per 100 square feet of floor area. FEMA recommends just 50 square feet per person for long-term shelter.

The design and overall scale of each Vivos facility allows for optimum ‘personal space’, with plenty of private areas for members to retreat to. Should any member have difficulty getting along relationships evolve, they may relocate to different living quarters.  While we cannot predict how the society will evolve, everyone will be well aware that their survival depends on cooperation, compassion and mutual effort. The alternative of being on the surface to face the realities of whatever nature or mankind has thrown upon us, would presumably be much grimmer.

Each multilevel complex was first engineered to with stand the most likely catastrophic forces of both nature and man. The interiors are designed with cheerful color schemes, comfortable furnishings, and community gathering areas with private living quarters radiating off of a central dome structure.

Each spoke includes full size kitchens, dining areas, a living room, study area, computer desks, exercise equipment, four bedrooms suites, and two full bathrooms. The central dome includes community gathering and dining areas, offices, a theater, kitchens, bathrooms, storage, an urgent care medical and dental center, a security office and detention area, along with most of the mechanical and support equipment to power the facility.

To accommodate our disabled Co-Owners, certain Vivos shelter levels and their access ways are dedicated for wheelchair and handicap accessibility for all services, including special bedroom suites, bathrooms, kitchen and dining areas, medical facilities, exercise, and more.  Vivos shelters are built in compliance with all local, state or federal regulations for handicap access, as well as the Americans with Disabilities Act.
