In this concept, a completely different approach from traditional villa designs is adopted. The villa is designed as a floating island on the surface of the Moon. This island, made of lightweight materials compatible with the Moon’s low gravity, features a special balancing system. Thus, it can freely float on the lunar surface and cope with the challenges brought by gravity.

The villa is not only living spaces; it’s also an ecosystem. The vegetation and water reservoirs inside create a self-sustaining environment. While plants provide oxygen, water reservoirs are used to maintain the water cycle. In this way, the basic needs of the villa residents are naturally met, promoting a sustainable lifestyle.

Additionally, floating greenhouse areas surround the villa. In these greenhouses, both food is grown and the atmosphere is improved thanks to the vegetation. Thus, villa residents are both well-nourished and breathe clean air.

This creative concept demonstrates that life on the Moon is sustainable not only for humans but also for the natural environment. The floating life oasis could be a significant step in humanity’s journey to live in space and make space living possible by efficiently utilizing the resources of the Moon.
