CloudDeck One
Design problem
2025 marked the 125th anniversary of AIA New Jersey, and to celebrate, we held a statewide K-12 competition during New Jersey Architecture Week that imagined what a home might look like 125 years in the future, in the year 2150. Students were asked to include an image (a drawing or a photo of a model) and a short description of their future home. Entries were reviewed by New Jersey Architects, and the top designs in each of the Elementary School, Middle School, and High School categories received a $100 Amazon Gift Card.
The contest began on Sunday, April 6th, 2025, the first day of New Jersey Architecture Week!
Student solution
CloudDeck One is a floating home that hovers above the clouds using cold fusion-powered ion thrusters and AI-controlled stabilizers. Built from lightweight titanium-aluminum alloy, it features an infinity pool, a modular smart interior, and a personal hoverjet dock—all fully powered by unlimited clean energy in a self-sustaining, off-grid design.
