Space exploration has left us with a legacy that goes beyond science: the ability to optimize habitable spaces to their fullest potential. Habitat modules are an integral part of spacecrafts, functioning as autonomous and compact units that concentrate all basic life-support needs within.
On this occasion, Módulo Hábitat lands in front of the Port of Cartagena, atop a structure situated on the Muralla del Mar, colonizing it and equipping it with the necessary services to transform it into a comfortable and functional home.
The duality between the compact, technologized core and its immediate surroundings is expressed through the selection of systems and finishes: while the module employs innovative construction solutions, the surrounding space is configured as a warm, earthy landscape defined by natural textures and organic geometries.
