Welcome inside our Seapod flagship model, as we are finishing work on the interior of the shell itself. We are really into a “might fit” time right now because there will be differences between this prototype and the production model. We are live from the Pod’s living room where we are putting the last touch […]

Ocean’s lifestyle is often a synonym of bridges. Ocean Builders’ SeaPods are no strangers to this as we will have 3 bridges connecting different areas of the Pod’s TriPod base.Today, we are installing the first rope bridge to be used to access the solar array mounted on the outriggers of the floating base. This is […]

The entrance of any home is often an undervalued area. But when you think about it, you use it everyday, and it’s the first thing your guests will see when visiting you. That’s why we are working on making the center dock pretty and safe.We already made a lot of progress in this area when […]

Grant is back at the factory to show us the foundation for the skylight cap that will be above the shower in the SeaPod. This will be the outer rim and the actual hatch will fit inside this circle.We have found a way to make this piece into a multi-use part that we can utilize […]

The actual living area of the Pod is lowered onto the center spar where it will be permanently mounted. Since the center spar needs to be smaller than the hole for it to fit, there is a small gap between the spar and the Pod that we don’t want to leave open. One option is […]

Since the SeaPods will be in the ocean, there is not a solid foundation that keeps the home permanently still. The ocean is an ever-changing environment and keeping things balanced in an ever-changing environment is a crucial part of keeping the home safe. Another factor about a floating home is that the weight will be […]

Things are moving along nicely in the EcoPod as we get closer to the launch! The kitchen cabinets that we were working on recently are finally being installed in the Pod. As you can see, there is a ton of cabinet space in the kitchen, in fact, there is more storage space in the EcoPod […]

Grant is back inside the factory to give us a look at part of the process of building the Wazebo floor. Like a lot of aspects of the Pods, these floor sections are made out of fiberglass that is formed in molds. The mold makes one-quarter of the floor at a time and since the […]

Grant is back on the EcoPod to give us a quick look at the living room cabinets and how they will be laid out. Storage space is always a problem in small homes so we wanted to make sure that this wouldn’t be a sacrifice that you have to make to live on the water. […]

We are getting the flashing installed on the center dock. We made 8 of these fiberglass pieces that will go around the entire circumference of the dock. We had to measure and then drill holes in the flashing so that it would slide over the posts for the railing.The purpose of the flashing is to […]

Sometimes the small details can make a huge difference, and that is definitely the case with this step. We will be using these step covers in the spiral staircase that goes to the living area of the Pod and then up to the roof level.The step itself is made of fiberglass and has small groves […]

It soon will be time for showers with a star’s view! We’ve done quite some work on the skylight window and it’s ready for shipping. When we designed the Pods, we didn’t know whether we would build a roof access or not. But very soon it appeared that YES, we really needed that. For many […]

It was a big moment for the Ocean Builders’ team when we pulled out the Pod’ spar structure from the water. How did the steel structure withstood one year in sea water? From being anxious about the outcome, we became very happy about how the outcome as the “organic concrete” (as we call the calcium […]

Let’s get to the roof! Specifically, let’s discuss what we used to protect the roof and what choices we had: organic coating Vs. foam insulation. Grant settled on the roof with coating specialist to benefit from his technical expertise on this topic. By definition, roofs get exposed to everything nature can possibly throw at. Sun, […]

“Welcome home”! That’s what we will say…once we will be done with the Pods’ entrance. We’re not there yet, but we are definitely making great progress so it should come sooner than later. We are now working on the center dock, or in other words, what will become the porch of your future home. Specifically, […]
