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 is an update on our SeaPod projector system. Piggybacking off of this previous blog post: Pod Projector System, we have a more in-depth look at some of the capabilities of this system. This will be the main media/entertainment system for the SeaPod. Featuring a roll-up screen and a projector, we are able to save […]

Are you the type of person that when told about a problem, you go and find a solution? Or with your many life experiences and passionate pursuits, you have the solution already. I was chatting with a colleague, about 3D Printing. There’s an issue finding the printing filament material PLA due to the remote location and costs for shipping. Well, Polylactic Acid (PLA), is one of the most […]
Hitting a milestone such as a birthday or anniversary is worth celebrating as it is an indicator of time passing through life. Completion, after an endless list of tasks, of a milestone such as this, is worthy of celebrating. It commemorates achievement for a team who continuously showed up for hours, days, weeks — even, […]
Working with a decentralised team has its pros and cons. We have the option of working in the comfort of our homes or we can be with the team and get front row access to the magic happening in the factory. There’s so much happening both locally and globally and all being done in a […]
At times we have been told, though media and marketing, that adornment is frivolous, unnecessary, and meaningless. However, even minimalists wear clothing and shoes. Would you walk naked in the streets? Most likely not. Let’s expand upon this to our surroundings – our homes – our future home. We understand that we will have walls, floors, […]
The sun welcomed me to the bay, Linton Bay. It was the only day of full sun in quite some time, I was told. After a few days I found this quite true. Clouds dominate the skies bringing rain throughout the day and night. If you leave your umbrella, it´s bound to downpour in spite […]
HOW DOES IT FLOAT?THIS IS WHEN THE TITLE IS LONG. Just like an iceberg, the hidden magic of a SeaPod lays beneath the surface. You have to look deeper. We use over 1,688 cubic feet of air-filled steel tubes which results in so much buoyancy that it is able to push the entire SeaPod up […]
Bioplastics are plastic-like products that are made from natural resources like agricultural produce and algae. Bioplastics are biodegradable and safe for the environment. Bioplastics are becoming increasingly popular in the packaging industry and are replacing chemically manufactured plastics with bioplastics.
https://wiki.oceanbuilders.com/link/420#bkmrk-algae-are-a-diverse-
Algae are a diverse group of aquatic organisms found all over the world. They are found in lakes, sea floors, and even in moist environments like pots at home, and on walls in rainy places. These organisms are photosynthetic – they use sunlight and water to grow and can form colonies in a short period of time. Algae are not only helpful to us, but are critical to our existence.
Algae and microalgae can be used to produce bioplastics that are environmentally safe, and in some cases, even edible. Bioplastics made from algae have a variety of applications and can be used as replacement for plastic used in food wraps, packaging, and even surf boards.

We are interested in being able to have ownership of a floating house represented as a verifiable blockchain title asset and for the asset to be able to be split into fractions so that there may be multiple owners that can easily buy, sell, and trade their assets. If the asset is rented out then the proceeds of the rental will be distributed according to the agreement between owners of the title.
There are hundreds of pieces of IoT equipment in each SeaPod, spread across hundreds of SeaPod locations across geographic locations. In such a scenario, it becomes challenging to keep maintenance service high quality and cost effective for both the property owner and maintenance service provider.
Want to partner with us? We are interested in partnering with companies and individuals that have or are developing advanced solutions to making futuristic, eco-restorative, or advanced technology homes and innovations that are good for the environment and for the oceans. We have a large media following and we would love to promote innovative solutions […]
Grant has always been a visionary. From a young age he caught onto new technology trends long before they became commonplace.
This fascination with technology began at a young age where he would build electronic circuits from scratch, disassembling and re-assembling household electronics and then at the age of 8 in 1980 he became the first and youngest student in Canada to compete in a science fair with a software program on an early home computer. His passion continued to propel him forward, leading him to be featured in the Globe and Mail newspaper as having the most advanced mobile paperless office in Canada in 1995 complete with being the first retail adopter of VoIP technology in the country.
Fueled by this entrepreneurial spirit, Grant found himself living in a San Francisco tech frat-house alongside one of PayPal’s co-founders. This connection sparked the creation of his own software development company, which boasted a prestigious clientele including billion-dollar giants like Wella Professionals, L’Oreal Professional, and a roster of other beauty industry brand leaders.
By 2016, Grant had outsourced his software company so we was effectively retired upon which he moved into a floating home in Toronto. After living there for 3 1/2 years he conceived a revolutionary idea: an eco-restorative floating smart home unlike anything the world had ever seen. His vision materialized on September 22nd, 2022, with the unveiling of the first model open to the public.
He is currently dedicated to pioneering the technology that will form the foundation of the world’s first floating city – a project that demands not only innovation, but the seamless integration, development, and iteration of groundbreaking technological solutions. Grant’s story is one of relentless pursuit, a testament to the power of imagination and the drive to transform futuristic concepts into tangible realities.

Protecting Steel With Epoxy Paint
Grant Romundt Construction
The steel that we are using in the construction of the spars must be protected from corrosion. The start of this process is sandblasting the surface to remove any surface rust or any other possible contaminants. Sandblasting will give us a fresh and clean layer of steel for us to apply our protectant so that […]
