Space dot com has a bit of a hype going on. It is click bait, I imagine.
Without reading the article, I'd say it was more like an appearance thing than a practical thing. If you want something that might work, consider the ideas from the Schwarzenegger movie Total Recall.
In that movie, the main part of the colony was under ground. There was a dome that was installed to keep air pressure in and the rays out. But there rays weren't shielded enough, according to the script.
Anyway, a Mars colony is likely to be underground. There would be a place for sunshine, but it would have to come through something that was heavily shielded.
