Omicron drew its inspiration from the universe with its toroidal structure embodying the concept infinity. The shape of the design resembles the relentless spirit of human exploration that reaches beyond Earth, while symbolizing the continuity of life against the vast landscape of the moon. The hollow core of Omicron includes windows that provides views of our home planet, serving as a tribute to Earth and reminding us of our origins.

The structure stands not as an imposition on the lunar surface, but instead blends with the moonscape. It is designed with a deep respect and understanding of the new celestial home and it’s build with 3D printing or transportable elements from Earth. The lunar regolith layered on top of the structure acts as a natural barrier, providing underground-like protection against radiation and extreme tempratures. Energy is harnessed through an integrated system of solar panels on the inner circle, and the module uses regenerative technologies to maintain atmosphere, water, and thermal control, ensuring a sustainable existence. The design offers a series of modular living quarters, but also many communal spaces to encourage social interaction. There are also other facilities like laboratories, storage rooms and on the bottom of the structure there is a hydroponic farm.Omicron is more than a structure, it’s a celebration of humanity’s interstellar aspirations. Its design stands as a testament to our adaptability and our need to extend the boundaries of home beyond the familiar, looking into the unknown.
