We are planting the SeaPod seed here in Panama, but our eventual goal is to have SeaPod homes in every corner of the ocean, all around the world. Now, that is much easier said than done, and it means we will have to ship homes our factory being located in Panama, at least at first.Eventually […]
Grant Romundt Design underwater room
We have a design for an underwater room that will be below the SeaPod, and totally underwater. Dealing with water pressure is a very important factor when going underwater and when lives are at stake, it is the top consideration to keep things safe. The easiest solution would simply be to make solid walls with […]
The SeaPod needed a way to have access to the roof from the inside of the home so we came to the conclusion that a roof hatch would be the best option. Since the SeaPod is designed using curves and circles, we decided to go with a circular roof hatch that is located directly in […]
The TriPod model has the option for different additions to the end of the outriggers like the Wazebo, a hot tub, or a spot to dock your boat. The problem is that the outriggers will be fully submerged so we need some sort of walkway to take you from the center spar to the outer […]
The SeaPod door has been quite the journey thus far, but we finally have found a good footing and we are making progress toward having these doors in full production. Through vendor changes, design changes, and everything else that we have been battling, we think we have found what we are looking for. The default […]
We are back with our Omer for an overview of the layout of the engineering room in the basement of the EcoPod. Omer designed this layout to fit all of the equipment that we will need to run the EcoPod. The ceiling in this basement is only 1.1 meters tall so everything had to be […]
Here we have Grant giving us a pretty cool inside-look at something that hasn’t been shown to the public yet – the engineering CAD drawings and schematics for the EcoPod that our engineering team uses. This computer program allows us to look at each individual piece and move or hide them so that we can […]
Grant Romundt Design underwater room
We have spent the last two planning and designing an underwater room that would of course be beneath the surface of the water. One of the biggest challenges with doing anything underwater is dealing with the water pressure. As you get deeper, the water pressure quickly increases so having a robust structure is crucial.The best […]
Here at Ocean Builders, we are creating something totally new that the world has never seen before. That means that along the way, we are constantly experimenting to see if there is a better method or a better option that we could use in our design. One of the ideas that we had was to […]
