Grant Romundt Environmental, Technology solar power
Grant may not be much of a cook but he is a master reheater! So he put his skills to use on the SeaPod Eco to use the stove to warm up some food as a test of the batteries which were charged completely by solar power. Up until now, the SeaPod has been tied […]
We take advantage of a beautiful sunset to take you through a few changes we have made on the TriPod floatation design.It’s easy to understand, but the best way to explain everything to you is to go through a few diagrams, and thanks to Grant’s teacher mindset, it is actually very clear! As you know, […]
A few days ago, we had the pleasure to welcome our very first guest on the SeaPod! Patti Zanin won our overnight giveaway on September 21st at the Day One Global Launch Event. Patti is very familiar with our beloved sustainable mindset as she is managing business for Sprout.AI Solutions, which is an indoor vertical […]
We are back out on the Pod with Grant for a quick look at the ASTRO(Autonomous Surface Trash Recycling Operations) drone. Check out this interview with Connor about the project. The guys have it in the water and they’re breaking it in and configuring the setup for it. For the moment we are still developing […]
In the runup to the global launch event, we decided to make some last-minute adjustments to the solar array which sits on one of the three outer spars of the floating TriPod base. Our original design had the solar panels mounted much closer together so there wasn’t much room to walk on the spar. Since […]
Of course, everybody knows that we are building floating homes that will allow people to live on the water, but our mission is much larger than to be a floating home company. Before everything else, our priority is to make sure that our homes have a positive impact on their environment. One of the things […]
It took a little longer than expected to receive the finished skylight so we weren’t able to get it installed while the SeaPod was within reach of our telehandler. When we can’t get the job done with the telehandler, we have to substitute for some good old-fashioned manpower. This skylight weighs about 90kg or about […]
Grant is back up the hill in the factory to show us the progress on the custom stairs that we are making for the EcoPod. These stairs will be a continuation of the spiral staircase that brings you from the center dock to the main floor of the EcoPod. The main entrance stairs have beautiful […]
It’s time to get it out! The SeaPod is going to see the light of day as we are taking it out of the hangar that was hosting it during the construction stage. We have done a few heavy-lifting operations recently and we are getting used to handling difficult tasks since, as everything is literally […]
Appetiser, dinners and more will soon be at reach on the SeaPod’s Wazebo area as we are putting the final touch to this side of the project. We’ve been working a lot on this because we had to design everything from scratch. A gazebo isn’t a new thing, but a “Wazebo” definitely is!It is aimed […]
Development work on future emergency wristwatch for the Lifeguard DroneLiving on water is a dream of many, and it is surely one we want to share with you! However, this isn’t without risk, so we came up with a series of innovations for the Pods guests safety: the emergency wristwatch is one of them. This […]
Here we have a look at the mold for the dinner chairs that will be on the Wazebo. The Wazebo will have a large table in the middle with bench seating around the outside that is perfect for lounging. When you want to sit at the table to eat, we will have these movable chairs […]
Welcome to our woodworking department, where our talented team is doing an excellent job in putting together cabinetry. “Measure twice, cut once” is definitely our motto here because we have no time to spare in redoing something that could have been done well the first time. The team is working on bedroom cabinets and walk-in […]
Grant got a pretty cool surprise today when he looked out of the window of his office and saw the Wazebo on its way to be installed on the floating TriPod base! The crew used the telehandler to pick up the main section of the Wazebo to take it to the water so that it […]
Do you know what the most important part of a home is? Yes, the bedroom is of significant importance, you’re right. But we are referring to the kitchen. This is where any home comes to life, and speaking about “coming to life”, Grant had the great feeling of seeing 3D rendering becoming a reality! After […]
