Seapods by Ocean Builders – the future of sustainable living on the water

Looking for a sustainable way of living on the water? Seapods by Ocean Builders offer a revolutionary solution. These innovative floating homes are designed to be eco-friendly and self-sufficient, offering a new way of living that's both comfortable and environmentally conscious.

Beginning of 2019, Ocean Builders successfully released a full-scale prototype of a floating made for living on the ocean. The vessel was set afloat 13 miles away from the coast of Thailand. After only a few months in the water, it had become a habitation for tens of thousands of fish and other sea creatures where there was nothing before its launch.

What are Seapods and how do they work?

In Panama, plans are in motion to construct a revolutionary “aquatic residence” project. The intention behind this aquatic dwelling is to build self-sufficient, detached homes in both near shore and far away locations and were developed with the purpose of encouraging vibrant coral growth and sustainability. 

The Seapodshave been designed by Dutch architect Koen Olthuis. The capsule offers a offers a surface area of over 77 square metres. The interior design is minimalistic, with curved walls and a chic atmosphere, appealing to travelers who enjoy being on the water without giving up the comfort of modern life. There is a master bedroom, living room, kitchen, bathroom and outdoor terrace. Wrap-around panoramic windows give residents an unobstructed 360-degree view of the sea.

The latest technology is being integrated into the Seapods. They are managed by software that regulates lighting, air conditioning, water pressure and more. Inhabitants on the Seapod wear a smart ring, which lets them control their tech preferences, open doors, windows and start playing music or change the light settings to create a desired ambiance. No cables or chargers needed as the Seapods feature wireless charging stations.

We cannot contain our excitement to gain additional information on the Seapods and its progression in the days to come.
