The idea

Every settlement begins as one room with a window. We build the room, pressurise the dream, and hand you the key at six millibars.

148m²Private living space in a Meridian home
3.0mOf packed regolith over every pressure shell
94%Of household water recovered and reused
0.38gGravity, so the stairs are a pleasure

01 · The Meridian home

One level, seven rooms, zero compromises on light.

Observation lounge. A curved four-metre window facing the crater rim. Where every resident ends up at sunset.

02 · Cross-section

A pressure vessel with a garden inside.

  1. 1Regolith shieldThree metres of sintered Martian soil over the shell. Cuts radiation to a fraction of surface dose.
  2. 2Aerogel-ETFE shellA bonded pressure envelope with aerogel insulation. Holds 70 kPa and shrugs off dust storms.
  3. 3Living deckTwo levels, 148 m², floors cantilevered off a basalt-fibre spine. Normal air, normal doors.
  4. 4Greenhouse ringA band of beds hugging the sunlit curve. Dinner, oxygen and a view of something green.
  5. 5Ice and water storeMined ice melts into a buried tank that doubles as thermal mass and a second radiation wall.
  6. 6Airlock and rover portA pressurised tunnel to the vehicle bay, so a trip to the ridge never starts with a spacewalk.

Postcards from Sol 2,114.

I grew up on a Swedish potato farm and now I grow basil under a dome. My daughter thinks the dust is just a very patient dog. The first tomato took 61 sols and I did not share it.
Ines Okafor-LindqvistHydroponics agronomist · Sol 1,204Meridian home 0417
Gravity is kind to the knees and brutal to the ego, because you will jump too hard for a month. I weld seams that hold a house together. The sunset is the one blue thing here and it is worth the trip.
Tomasz ReyesStructural welder · Sol 842Founder ring, plot 12
I am 71 and my bones were the main worry. We have a centrifuge, a routine and an excellent view. People ask if I miss Lyon. I miss the bread. Bakery rota is Thursday.

RX> Yes, inside the dome. Outside it is 6 millibars, minus 63 °C on average and unbreathable. Everything we sell is designed to be boring to survive: redundant seals, three independent life-support loops and a shelter you can reach in under two minutes from any room.
