This project features three interconnected space modules: one dedicated to food preparation and sharing, and two focused on the emotional sphere. All modules aim to stimulate sensory and emotional experiences.

The kitchen module uses the Möbius strip as both structural and symbolic core—a metaphor for continuity and interconnectedness. Its surface becomes seating and a convivial platform, representing the endless cycle of relationships and shared meals. The space unfolds across two levels: the ground floor hosts an intelligent food-ordering system and a large communal table; the upper level features another table equipped with a videowall, enabling virtual shared meals with Earth. Warm lighting and scent diffusers enrich the multisensory atmosphere.
The two emotional modules explore memory and imagination: one dedicated to recalling Earth through immersive sensory environments; the other to lunar exploration, with soundscapes, regolith surfaces, and an internal sphere for study and play. Together, the modules outline a holistic vision of life in space, where nourishment, memory, and imagination support both body and spirit.
