The Colonial Style is an [[Architecture|building style]] that was developed early during Humanity expansion into the stars, during the XXII Century. It's reminiscent of [[Earth]]'s {{WP|ref=no|High-tech_architecture|High-Tech architecture}} of the XX Century.

Crossing into the XXII century, even though Earth was beyond capacity with its population, there was a sense of purpose to push into the stars. The public's renewed fascination with the stars began to manifest in forward thinking (i.e. futuristic) designs. These buildings typically had a lot of glass/plexi, unique shapes, and visible supports, anything that could showcase human ingenuity and evoke a "the future is Now" feeling.

The push also helped lead to a series of breakthroughs, each served to ignite and invigorate Humanity more: development of terraforming technology in 2111, subsequent test, tragedy, and successful terraforming of [[Mars]], and the first commercially available starship.

Because of the fascination with Mars, 'colonial style' became the fad in architecture. Houses were designed to resemble the more utilitarian/functionality based modular designs on Mars
