Space design challenge

Design a base for an unfamiliar world

Your explorers need connected places to live, work, store supplies, and stay safe. How much can you fit without making the base confusing?

The brief

Make every section matter

  • Create a central room that connects the whole base.
  • Add separate living and research areas.
  • Include storage close to where supplies are used.
  • Build a protected area for storms or emergencies.
  • Add an entrance that is easy to recognize.

Optional constraint

Keep the footprint small

Choose a square footprint before building. To add more space, build upward or combine rooms.

Review the system

Trace an explorer’s day through the model

Morning

Can an explorer move from living quarters to work without crossing storage?

Delivery

Where do new supplies enter, and how far must they travel?

Emergency

Can everyone reach shelter through a clear route?
