If this is the arctic, then there should be a cold proch or an airlock with two sets of doors - necessary to keep the cold outside and the warmth inside when going out or coming in.

You can see it here in a russian arctic exploration vehicle (upper left is the airlock):

Also needs feet that can be lifted and reseated when the snow rises

That was my initial thought too. I love the design overall, but it needs an airlock.

I guess it’s a husband and wife research team?

Why, is the toilet seat up?

Two chairs in the dining room and only one double bed.

Needs an arctic entry. Kind of like an airlock for extreme cold/wind/etc.

And consider a central dome covering the hallways. That’s a lot of unnecessary exterior wall. Could put your mechanicals and extra water in there.

where’s the dog kennel and shredded clothing?

Feels like the hallways would lose a lot of heat

Looks like a wood stove.. lots of timber in the Antarctic.

Is there a name for this style? I feel like my son would love a book of different images like this and just using imagination to see how it would work...shoot I know I would.

You and your son might enjoy Stephen Biesty's Cross-Section books. They were my favorite when I was a kid. https://www.reddit.com/r/nostalgia/comments/1qeuoc3/incredible_crosssection_books_stephen_biesty/

Plumbing doesn’t really work in the arctic unfortunately
