HUMANS could one day live in space condos that can fit inside of a SpaceX rocket.

Last week, students from Swiss boarding school Institut auf dem Rosenberg unveiled a housing concept for living in space.

The team worked closely with Danish space design company SAGA to finalize the design for the project.

Dubbed the Rosenberg Space Habitat (RSH), the concept comprises a futuristic three-story space condo.

The first floor is a research lab, while the second and third offer residents living and resting spaces.

The structure measures 23 feet and is "the world's tallest 3D-printed polymer".

A special type of polymer was chosen to allow the material to be easily broken down and reprinted into something else.

What's more, the portable home could fit perfectly inside a SpaceX Starship.

Starships stand at around 165 feet tall and can carry astronauts on deep-space missions to the moon, Mars or beyond.

SAGA's partners in Denmark and Italy help to realize a mock-up of the design and then installed it at the school's "Future Park".

That space currently serves as an experimental lab for students to "explore and actively shape the future of humanity on our planet and beyond", according to a press release.

Within the structure also lives a robot pet in the form of a Boston Dynamics Spot.

Students will also use the RHS space to learn about conditions and architectural designs humans need to thrive on Earth or in space.

"The project is based on the vision of planet-centred and need-lead innovation, teaching students not to fear new technology, but to embrace it and design it for its next generation," the statement read.
