The main principle behind LUNARK is its expanding volume, as the structure expands 750% after transport while testing it was a great success as it was easy to unfold and strong enough to withstand the extreme environment.

LUNARK also has a series of in-built digital software systems, including a weather simulator to help break up the day-to-day monotony, and an algae reactor, to nurture and monitor a source of nutrition.
Inside the unfolding pod, there is space for a 3D printer (for printing spare parts if needed), stowage for batteries and water, and a living algae farm. It aspires to be a zero-waste shelter, leaving as little impact as possible on the environment. It is powered by a 1000 Ah solar-powered battery. With an inner volume of 17.2 sqm, LUNARK is designed to shelter two people at once. It is designed to counteract monotony, claustrophobia, and psychological stress. Inside, solar-powered circadian panels mimic the light cycles on Earth, aiming to improve astronauts’ sleep patterns and general well-being. Starting from the size of a small car, the carbon fiber shell can unfold to 750 times its size. The panels are connected by a white foldable composite rubber and the main load-bearing structure is an aluminum frame. Carbon fiber is ideal because it’s lightweight – which is crucial for transport and unfolding – yet strong. The carbon-fiber structure’s sandwiched panels with a foam core for extra insulation. The main exterior of the habitat is made from a black glossy carbon fiber shell. Its exterior is tough as a tank while its interior is a cozy home with a sense of Nordic “hygge”. It unfolds from a tight bud to a large ovoid shape with a rigid carbon fiber shell. LUNARK’s form was inspired by the patterns seen in a budding leaf as it unfolds and origami. The LUNARK habitat shows what can happen when the architect steps back and allows the extreme environment on the Moon and the high arctic to mold a habitat around human beings. SAGA has one mission – make outer space a little cozier for future human inhabitants. SAGA is a Danish architecture studio that designed LUNARK which is a modular shelter that expands and becomes 750 times its original size! It was crucial to design a structure that would be easily transportable (to the moon!), have a zero-waste ecosystem, and could withstand arctic temperatures and meteor showers – LUNARK does it all, in fact, it was taken out on a test run in Greeland by the architects themselves! You must overcome traps, solve puzzles, earn upgrades, and battle enemy droids, and when you're not fighting for survival, you'll meet a cast of colorful characters who will put Leo's allegiances to the test.Studying space exploration is a side hobby of mine so this extreme-weather resistant origami moon habitat is one of my dream homes. As Leo, a courier with unique abilities and a mysterious past, you'll run, jump, hang, climb, roll, and shoot through gorgeously animated pixel-art environments ranging from a dystopian megalopolis to eerie caves to an alien forest. Set on a distant planet ruled by a totalitarian regime, LUNARK is a modern take on the 2D cinematic platformer genre of the '90s. Join the revolution in this cinematic sci-fi platformer
