The image house has been designed by ESA, European space agency. But although they have used space technology, they may use it on Earth. At least in this design the Germans want to base their new base on Antarctica.

In fact, German scientists want to ensure that the environment is as little damaged as possible and the ESA house perfectly meets this requirement. However, the idea of building a space house on Earth was born about five years ago. Taking advantage of the technology of space, the ESA wanted to build a totally safe house after the earthquake. Hence its spherical appearance. Materials are also special as they are designed to withstand vibrations and avoid environmental impacts.
