A home for sustainable life on mars. This is a home for a family of four and has facilities for growing up as a native martian and for the adults to work and live on mars.
The Home is made for underground living which will make the challenges of living on the red planet easier. Underground living will help with heating which is important considering Mars' average temperature of -60 C. Underground living will also assist in harvesting water and producing oxygen. Water can be baked from the soil Mars and underground it will not evaporate in the thin atmosphere.Oxygen could be generated by separating it from the harvested water. Underground living also grants protection from the harmful radiation and dust storms on mars.
The lava tubes will serve as a means of transportation between homes, to the hydroponic gardens to larger geothermal energy generators and to research laboratories or other public buildings.
The home is built in three levels. The top level is on the surface of mars. It has a large airlock for vehicle entry. beyond the airlock is the garage. Next to the garage is an office That can be used as a workshop or an at home library. Across the hall is the upstairs bathroom. By the bathroom upstairs playroom for kids to see the wonders of the martian landscape include the yellowish-brown tinted sky. Across the hall next to the stairs is the observation room where adults can observe the scenery.
The next level down, the first underground level features a airlock leading into the lava tubes that work as a network for forming neighborhoods where families can work and play together. Next to the airlock by the stairs is the Living room where the family can relax and watch the television built into the wall. Across the hall is the recreation room. Exercise is extremely important in the light gravity which is 1/3rd of the Earth's. If the Martian born people want to visit Earth someday they will need to exercise regularly to compensate for the lack of gravity. By the rec room is another bathroom. At the end of the hallway that contains the stairs is the dining room and above that is the kitchen. on the other side of the dining room is one of the life support systems room. This room contains a water extraction and oxygen generator as well as a small power generator or storage cells. It's proximity to the kitchen and bathroom will make transport of the water easier.
The third level contains the living quarters. There are bedrooms on either side of the stairs and a bathroom in the hall. At the end of the hallway is the master bedroom with the accompanying master bathroom. Next to the bathroom is another life support systems room. This room has a waste management system for recycling waste and another small generator or energy storage unit. There are also backup oxygen tanks in here for emergencies. The bathrooms are all stacked vertically for ease of running pipes to them for water transport and waste management.
The angled door arches and angles underneath overhangs should allow this to be printed without supports.
Added Version 2. Slices better in Slic3r. (tested in 1.0.1 and 1.1.3)
