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 […]

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 […]
Omer is back at the manufacturing facility to check out the progress on version 2 of the main door. So far, this updated version is looking great and should solve the issues that we had with the first iteration.To start, the door is more rigid. The previous door had a lot of noise because the […]

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 […]
The SeaPod is packed with home automation technology that will make life on the water more convenient. We automated every aspect that we could and the lock on the “front” door is no different.The front door can be easily locked or unlocked from your home automation app on the tablets inside the home as well […]
Every home needs to have the proper lighting. When the sun comes down, the natural light generously provided by the many windows will need an alternative source, and that will be a network of LED light strips. Lighting is of critical importance in every home. We tend to forget it until the fuse goes off […]
The SeaPod is a very futuristic-looking house, and it’s of course full of amazing technology, but there is still something old fashioned still required: a door. Well, our door is not exactly that old-fashion because of a few things. First, it’s custom-made and curved to fit the center dock entrance that we recently finished. Second, […]
Having a great view is what every homeowner is dreaming of, and there definitely won’t be any shortage of this when living on the SeaPod! Enough of imaging why we are doing this, let us show you what will be your backyard view! Obviously, the Pod’s localization will be of tremendous importance, but we are […]
Ready to experience the future of ocean living?
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 for floating modular infrastructure that can connect like lego to make large scale floating communities. 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.
