CONCEPT

Mars settlement project was investigating the possibility of future living on Mars to create the first colony on Mars, as well as establish how it will continue to develop from settlement stages.

Mars housing is designed to be underground with use of movable panels above the skylight windows. the idea of having houses underground is to protect human in case of any worse weather conditions. But how are they going to protect them? Movable panels are place above each roof windows, so when we look from the top while the panels are closed, we cannot even see there is a house underneath. It literally has become a part of Mars environment.

Indoor plants play a major role. They reduce stress levels and boost moods, moreover they improve concentration and productivity even up to 15 precent. It makes them not only looking so good, but also improving human health. House design can quite remind of the standard house design on the Earth to make people settle on Mars easier, however, use of materials like rose gold, silver, gold alumminium and glass make people feel like they are not on Earth anymore. These materials help to spread the sunlight from the skylights above around the house as it reflects on them.
