Nicely done! And very forward-looking, to have been done back at the beginning!
It took me a minute to figure out how your door slid so nicely; elegant
solution, and very spacey-looking!
Looks like just enough room for one person to live with some modicum of comfort.
A bunch of these hooked up to a main corridor skeleton, with common bathroom and
kitchen facilities, would make a really cool MoonBase Mod
It would be interesting to see everyone's interpretation of this idea; the real
challenge would be in making a comfortable little home in such a tight space. A
book I read by Sarah Susanka called 'The Not So Big House' has as a theme that
we don't really need as much space to live in as houses are now being built for;
what we need is well-designed space that allows for multiple activities,
privacy, and basic needs, built to a higher standard of quality. She mentions
boat & ship design as something to study for this, since the space is really
limited, but comforts are integral to what's most often a luxury item. Your
design fits this bill.
I'm not sure who mentioned it earlier (and I don't have the chance to look just
now), but the single ContainerHab unit would be a cool exchange item at shows.
Thanks very much for sharing and inspiring!
Peace and Long Life,
