Martian House Designed To Withstand Life On Mars Lands Bristol

A gold inflatable Martian House designed to “withstand life on Mars” has landed in Bristol.

The two-storey house is powered by solar panels and designed to be lightweight to withstand the environmental challenges that would be faced on Mars.

It comes after the architects behind the British Antarctic Survey station were given planning permission in 2020.

It is part of a five year project led by artists Ella Good and Nicki Kent.

The unusual building will be in place for five months.

The Martian house has brought together artists, scientists, architects, engineers and the public.
