The floor of the SeaPod will consist of the subfloor, the floor beams, and the surface flooring material. Here we are taking a look at the floor beams. These beams will provide the strength and support that we need under the floor.The floor beams need to be rigid because we don’t want the floor to […]
The floor of the SeaPod will be pieced together with custom-cut sections that are unique to each room. The panels are cut from large sheets of flooring and fit together almost like a puzzle. The design of these has taken quite a bit of work but the results have been good so far. The floorplan […]
We are back with another update from the Ocean Builders factory for some of the mold that we have been working on. We currently have two molds for the subfloor sections of the SeaPod. We have been refining these molds and now we are using them to produce a few more sections as a test […]
Work has been continuing on the master molds for the body of the SeaPod. We have been applying the fiberglass to every other section of the mold to every other section as we go around. Right now, the white surface of the positive mold and the red tooling gel surface on alternating sections make the […]
We have another update from the factory about the SeaPod base that we are currently building. We are beginning to connect the outrigger tubes to the center core. These sections weigh nearly one ton each so we have to use a crane to move them around. As the tube is lifted by the crane, we […]
When you look at the SeaPod, one of the striking features that you’ll notice is the huge panoramic windows that seem to wrap around the home. While these windows look stunning and provide wonderful views from the inside, they were quite a challenge to engineer.The original plan was to have one large window that would […]
The round shower is located directly in the center of the top floor of the SeaPod. The shower has a diameter of 1.6 meters and also offers access to the roof using whichever style of the climbing wall that you choose. In addition to offering roof access, the skylight can also be opened to provide […]
The design of the SeaPod features many dramatic curves. While these curves are beautiful, unique, and bring a more natural flow of energy within the home, they also come with a significant challenge when it comes to construction. One of the difficulties with being unique is that there are many things that have never been […]
We have an update from the factory regarding the production of our SeaPod molds. We are moving forward with the process of applying the tooling gel coat to the positive mold which will give us the surface of our negative mold.The process of adding the coat of tooling gel is very important. Tooling gel acts […]
This is an update on the construction of our second SeaPod core and base which is continuing to take shape. In the previous post about these cores, we talked about how we cut the holes in the steel where the three outriggers for the side-spars will be attached.You can see in the video that the […]
Here we have a visual representation of the different levels of our home automation system. This is a basic diagram that shows the ways that the different aspects of the system will communicate with one another and how each of the different levels are ultimately connected to work together. Starting in the physical world/hardware section, […]
This video is a digital rendering that shows what it would like to be inside of the SeaPod. While we have made prototypes to perform tests, we haven’t built something to show the actual design. This video serves that purpose. Our original prototype was built as an engineering prototype. This means that comfort, aesthetics, and […]
When it comes to color options for the SeaPod, we spent a lot of time deciding what the best options would be and creating them in a rendered video to show the different colors. As you can see in the video, we were considering white, shades of blues, grays, and greens.After some careful consideration, we […]
Here we have some footage of the original prototype for the SeaPod that was built in Thailand in early 2019. This was an engineering prototype that was built as a proof of concept to test the engineering principles of the spar system so that we could see if it would be stable enough to create […]
At the center of all of the systems within the SeaPod will be the Brain Computer. The Brain Computer will be located in the storage area of the SeaPod and while its main function is to operate the home automation systems, we also want to make it fit the futuristic look of the rest of […]
Here we have some drone footage of Grant and Rudy sitting on the deck of the small-scale model enjoying a glass of wine. While we all like to enjoy a glass of wine at the end of the day, this glass of wine had a very important job. It acted as a proof of concept […]
One of our concepts that we have created is the wazebo. This will be a gazebo type area and since you will be floating just above the water, so with Water + Gazebo, we have dubbed it the Wazebo. We want the wazebo to be more than a place to sit outside, it will be […]
High-quality audio is a very big goal for us here at Ocean Builders, but it doesn’t stop at being high-quality, it has to be functional as well. Having audio that perfectly syncs to speakers in every room of the SeaPod is crucial, no one wants to hear lag and latency between rooms.In the SeaPod, you […]
Another way that we can add convenience and functionality to the SeaPod homes is with voice control capabilities. Most of us use or are at least familiar with Siri, Alexa, Google Voice Assistant, or another form of digital voice assistant. This technology adds convenience to our cell phones, why not expand it into our homes?Many […]

Pulling The SeaPod Molds
Grant Romundt Construction
After about a month of work, the time has finally come to remove the SeaPod shell molds from the plug. This has been a long process but these molds will be what gives the SeaPod its shape so we had to get it right.These sections are considerably bigger than the molds for the bottom of […]
