Urchin the Australian lunar village

I spared some time to model and share my vision of the Australian Lunar Village. It would be much appreciated if share your feedback.
All (almost all) is done in Blender 3D, based on sketches and simple SketchUp models developed in Blender 3D.

@Rich-O-Brien Maybe the link to my linkedin page is broken. Here are some images.

Trying to work out exactly what I am looking at but I am used to seeing certain 'norms' in design. You are definitely NOT following the crowd and that is refreshing.
Very good to see.
In reference to actually living in that hab, the seated figure operating the screen/console seems to be in a difficult spot should there be a breach of the unit, it would be difficult to evacuate. Just thoughts.

What are prices like where you are (I assume Ireland) Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) for March 2025 indicates a national mean dwelling price of $1,002,500!!!!!!!!!

We are in the middle of a housing crisis. Rents are astronomical, house prices are astronomical and govt stupidity is also at astronomical levels.
But lets not derail @majid thread. These structures remind me of Acorn Barnacles you see at the coast.

Biomimicry is such a cool device for inspiration from nature

Take it easy mates, here is the corner bar. So I also join the discussion...
When I was a child, my grandma, had a small 2-rooms simple house with a detached smoked cooking room... yet a beautiful, Well planted garden... I would wish be architect to make a decent house for her. Unfortunately she passed away when I was at university, let alone that housing soared drastically so that I myself live in a rented house, have no idea when may own one.
We do not have housing crisis but the prices have nothing to do with the income...$80k an average house and $400 a rather good monthly salary!
Inflation also is so crazy that it is really challenging to save enough to keep the same rented place...very hard to save!
I will reflect on mimicry later. -
I am planning to work on affordable housing for my PhD. The side reason entering such a challenge also is the same..
