Grant Romundt Construction deep water seapod
We are now entering production mode of our SeaPod Eco models and unit number 2 is now in progress!Specifically, we are now working on the subfloor section of the Pod. What you can see is worth 2 days of work, so that is quite impressive. The bottom section should be completed within a week prior […]
Grant Romundt Construction deep water seapod
The guys have been making some serious progress on the subfloor section for SeaPod Eco Unit #2! As you can see in the video below, the crew is wrapping up some finishing work on the final section and it’ll be installed with the rest of the sections this afternoon!It takes quite a bit of work […]
Grant Romundt Construction deep water seapod
Things are rolling again here at the factory now that we have started the production process on the second SeaPod Eco unit. We are delighted with the first unit that everyone got to check out at the global launch and now it is time to get the second one built.As you can see here, we […]
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 […]
Today, Grant is supervising the loading of the Pods appliances. That’s right, when it comes to that stage of the project, something feels like the end is near! But it’s going to be a major operation. If you lived in an apartment, chances are that you bought appliances for you to have all the convenience […]
A few days ago, it was “Party Time” for the Ocean Builders’ team as we were celebrating the launch of the SeaPod. I tell you what, it was needed and well deserved! We have been working so hard in the last few years, and very, very intensively in the past weeks, that we had to […]
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 […]
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 […]
Today is the big day! It’s time to finally put the SeaPod Eco on the water. This is not an easy job and requires a bit of teamwork but that’s nothing new for the Ocean Builders crew. We only get one chance to do this right so we are going to take our time and […]
While the main intention for the SeaPod is to be a sustainable and eco-friendly floating home, there are other use cases for them. One of those options is to use a SeaPod as a floating cafe, restaurant, or bar. You could also have these same concepts on land in the GreenPod configuration.The main area will […]
Up until now, the interior of the SeaPod prototype has just had the inner surface from the mold process. Of course, we needed to add the interior walls and so far, that process has been moving along nicely. The SeaPod is curvy and these walls are no different. These walls are made of a honeycomb […]
We spent quite a long time producing the prototype molds for the SeaPod here at the factory, in fact, some parts took nearly two years to get right. These prototype molds are what we used to make the first prototype, but they won’t be what we use when the SeaPod goes into full production.We have […]
The SeaPod windows are just absolutely massive. They have been a massive challenge to manufacture but we finally have done what we started out to do three years ago. Now that we have found a company that has successfully manufactured the windows, we have to find a way to get them to the factory here […]
The SeaPod will have a large set of sliding doors that will open up what is basically a wall of glass between the kitchen and the patio area to turn the kitchen/dining area into an open-air room. We wanted to find a way to implement this to truly open up the space and let you […]
When the SeaPod was originally designed, one of the things that Grant really pushed for was to have huge windows. One of the best things about living on the sea is having beautiful views, so without big windows to enjoy the views, what’s the point?It’s easy to say “Let’s have huge windows” and it is […]
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 […]
Rüdiger Koch Other deep water seapod
One of the things that we are looking into is a Deep Water SeaPod. The first SeaPods will be in waters that are no more than 25 meters or about 80 feet of water, but we want to explore the option of going deeper. Rüdi went on a little expedition to explore a possible location […]
We built the SeaPod roof upside down so when it was finished, we had to get it flipped over. We called this process The Flippening and it was quite the feat. We didn’t want to put the weight of the roof directly onto the fiberglass roof material so we built a steel frame on the […]
The SeaPod will have an absolutely massive panoramic window in the living room that will provide stunning views of the outside world. These windows were a serious challenge to design and engineer due to their size and their curved shape, but as with every challenge we have faced, we found a way to make it […]

Grant Romundt Construction
The crew has been working on getting the floor of the new Deep Water SeaPod Eco installed and it’s coming along nicely!Installing the floor requires quite a few steps. We start with building the subfloor and all bulkhead supports beneath the floor. This acts as the foundation and provides the structure and support to hold […]
