"Alright, thanks for your patience. I just got off the line with Sasha and the rest of the assembly- they confirmed your credentials so you should be cleared to proceed with docking maneuvers. Welcome to the Station, comrade."

Very basic sketch of a Bernal Station, a type of Space Habitats in my Scifi setting.
In my setting, I imagined there be like a few of these bad boys, nothing too much as O'Neil cylinders are more common. They were mostly build after humanity got the hang of O'Neil cylinder and saw old megastructure/space habitats designs and went "Yeah let's make that too" (so I guess this would technically make them sort off BWC objects in my setting?) I haven't really drawn that, but I imagined that the residential sphere is incased inside a non spinning sphere, like with maybe 2 meters or so of vacuum between, to allow it to spin freely without having to worry about potential debris colliding with it and causing friction and such. Most Bernal Station orbits in between Venus and Mars.

The Futuro was a prefabricated house built between the late 1960's and 1970's. Fewer than a hundred were made.

So an entire organism was genetically engineered to provide draft labor to space colonists instead of... using a robot? Or some kinda technology? Why did they even bother to prepare for logging on an alien planet? Were they still building things from wood in the year forty million before the collapse of civilization or losing contact with the other colonies or whatever the grobusverse apocalypse was?
Don't get me wrong, I love the idea of alien planet logging but I'm curious as to the logic behind it. Are people colonizing alien planets simply to start over from an agricultural base? Don't they bring heavy industry with them?
REDUNDANCY, brother- redundancy! Man cannot survive on vats of yeast and robot labor alone...
These planets were indeed being settled by people with vast resources and hi tech, but a large contingency of the people leaving the "civilized" world were also doing so to lead less far-future-ie urbanized lives. In this setting, there are also a lot of religious settlers who would also prefer to live outside of the intergalactic supply chain. Griz Grobus actually closes out with a little pamphlet that touches on some of these themes, which i'll attach below:
Which is to say that these planets are settled both by future space communists and back-to-the-land space mormon types, and everyone in between. After the grobus-pocalypse, the tools brought by those space mormon types just ended up doing much much more of the heavy lifting...

I bet on losing dogs
I know they're losing and I'll pay for my place
By the ring
Where I'll be looking in their eyes when they're down
I'll be there on their side
I'm losing by their side
MARTIN
Yeah, but if, if you're that connected, that dependent, what happens if we actually, y'know, do manage to—
ARCHIVIST
We'll cross that bridge when we come to it. For now, I just need us to be moving on.
The price of a long due reckoning
Laid in blood when the battle has done
Old King Cole has paid the toll
Of the crimes levied upon his soul
The rebel blades have achieved their goal
Laid in blood when the battle has done
Pip: We're doomed
Flip: We're not.
Pip: Are you sure?
There's been so little time to share
We've always had our loads to bear
I won't forget
I won't leave you this time
This time
MARTIN
I refuse to accept that this—
ARCHIVIST
(Firm) Tough! The world doesn't care what you accept. It just... is!
It just is.
It's getting late, Little Moon. Finish the song. It's not that late. You are my moon, Little Moon, and it's late enough. So climb down out of the tree. Is it safe? Safe enough. Are you dead as well?
MARTIN
Yeah, yeah. Come on. We've got a job to do.

Thank you to those who answered already to my questions for my thesis ! That's super helpful ❤️
I have another more specific few questions :
Do you like fictional habitats (ex : Hobbit houses), especially those close of nature (clay/wood houses...) ?
Would you live in one of those habitats ? Why ?
Precision : this is only about the design of the house but in a modern world. Imagine a house based on these but with internet, electricity etc.
