Maybe a bit tainted.
Maybe a bit bruised by the hard landing.
But the house is there
From Januari to June 2025, a small red Swedish house travelled 384,000 kilometers from Earth to the Moon
The Moonhouse is now the first house on the Moon
A quiet gesture that brings the idea of home beyond Earth
The Moonhouse twin spare photographed in a lunar simulation environment. The Earth has been added to illustrate the concept of the artwork

The Moonhouse is the result of a 25-year artistic journey
Three identical houses were built for the mission
One travelled to the Moon
One remains on Earth as a flight-ready twin
One was used during testing
The house was transported aboard a lunar mission by the Japanese space company ispace
During the landing attempt, the spacecraft impacted the lunar surface, creating a crater at the landing site
The Moonhouse, mounted on the rover Tenacious inside the lander structure, is believed to remain within the impact site
The work now exists as a quiet human artifact on the Moon
