The manned cloud is a boutique hotel that is located in a flying airship. It will target an audience of extreme sports athletes. These athletes will be able to participate in activities that are incorporated within the design of the airship. It will be powered by low cost renewable energy. The concept of environmental sustainable luxury is achieved by conserving resources by being a self-sustaining airship. This will be done by using a hybrid of plexiglass and solar panels to produce the main source of energy. All the energy that is put into the airship, will recycle continuously. 

The theme and design of the airship was influenced by the geographic typologies of the island of Palawan in the Philippines. Palawan is made up of natural scenery such as beaches, lagoons, lakes, rivers, underground rivers, waterfalls and rock formations. This influences the activity on the island, as well as the activities offered in the airship. The natural scenery of the island will also influence the biophilic design of the space including the materiality and light qualities.
