Life Over Water New floating homes bring


nature to your doorstep — and under it. ::


F


or anyone who dreams of waking up surrounded by water, a new kind of home


makes that possible, not on the waterfront, but right on the waves. Brooklyn-based Ocean Builders has


designed the SeaPod, a sustainable floating home that turns the ocean into your front yard. Prefabricated in Panama, each pod is shipped in standard containers and assembled on site, opening up possibilities for seaside living in places that traditional homes can’t reach. Inside, the 833-square-foot space offers


sweeping 360-degree views and a flexible interior you can tailor for living, working, or relaxing. Panoramic windows blur the line between indoors and out, while decks provide space to soak up sun and sea air. The pod’s systems — like rainwater collection and built-in smart home features — help support off-grid living. And if life on the water isn’t for you? Ocean Builders offers a land-based version, the GreenPod, designed for minimal impact on natural surroundings, whether in the forest or even, someday, a golf course. For the curious, the company also offers


overnight stays in its flagship SeaPod in Linton Bay, Panama, from $595 per night. An easy way to dip a toe into life at sea.
