A journey to the Moon is physically, mentally, financially, and technically demanding, especially if a longer stay is also envisaged, as all life there has to take place indoors. Therefore, a villa on the Moon must offer more comfort and have more facilities than ordinary houses on Earth so that the brave pioneers who sign up for a lunar mission can succeed and feel at home in the harsh environment. The stairways, long corridors, and swimming pools will help the astronauts to manage the 2-3 hours of daily exercise more easily, and the elegant style and lush courtyard will help them to stay focused, energetic, and motivated. Moreover, what drives us as humans is to leave meaningful landmarks, and while we tend to design buildings that blend in with their surroundings, we also want to ensure that they stand out in an awe-inspiring way. The exterior of the villa, with its modern architectural style, addresses these very points. Materials like Polyetheretherketone (PEEK), which has good dimensional stability, outstanding chemical resistance, and mechanical strength across a broad temperature range, and Quartz glass can be used, and nearby solar farms and nuclear fusion plants will supply energy.
