Inside the huge gold Martian house on Bristol Harbourside

Ever wondered what it would be like to live on Mars? Well, now a house designed to showcase the possibilities for human life on the red planet has gone on display in Bristol.

The huge two-storey gold inflatable building, next to M Shed on the Harbourside, was designed by artists Ella Good and Nicki Kent to support an imaginary community on the fourth planet from the sun. The idea is to get people to think about what everyday life would be like if humans settled on Mars and new ways of living on Earth, too.

The duo worked with construction companies, scientists, experts from the University of Bristol, engineers, architects, designers and the public on the project - known as 'Building a Martian House' - over seven years. The building finally opened to the public on Wednesday (August 24).
