Inflatable Martian home designed to sustain human life on the red planet

A peculiar gold-coated inflatable house could be what a house on Mars would look like. Artists Ella Good and Nicki Kent collaborated with space scientists, architects, engineers, designers and even children to build a prototype of a Martian house in the southwestern English city of Bristol. The prototype is open to the public to visit until the end of October 2022. The 53-square-metre (570 sq ft) house is 2-storeys and solar-powered with an environmental control room, and bedrooms and bathrooms built underground. The above-ground level is a hydroponic living room with a gold exterior designed to reflect solar rays and cosmic radiation. The public art project also aims to reassess how we could live more sustainably on Earth.
