Introducing EarthOne: AsiaOne’s Eco‑Focused News Hub
Hey, planet lovers! AsiaOne just dropped a brand‑new section called EarthOne, where we’re all about the hoopla of a healthier Earth. If you’re into cool science stories and eco‑culture, you’re in the right place.
Why the Buzz About Ocean‑Houses?
We all know the sea level is on the rise—our planet’s getting “blue” on the rise, while the green (yes, that leafy stuff) is shrinking. On top of that, 70 % of the world’s land is already feeling the splash. Can you imagine living in a house that roams with the waves? Good news, this isn’t just a pipe dream!
Enter the Marvelous Seapod
- No More Bouncy Beds: The Seapod, created by Panama‑based Ocean Builders, tackles the most annoying guest in a floating house: the ocean’s relentless rocking. Think of it as a superhero cape for your home that keeps calm even when the waves are doing the salsa.
- Shell‑Style Design: Picture a smooth, streamlined shell that sits on the water like a sleek aquarium. It’s not just about looks—its shape is engineered to cut drag and keep the structure steady.
- Green Innovation: The Seapod uses sustainable materials and incorporates renewable energy tech, so you can say goodbye to high electricity bills and hello to a greener life.
So, if you want to keep your living space afloat without the hassle of a back‑and‑forth dance, the Seapod might just be your next floating dream.

Discover the Seapod: Floating Luxury on the Waves
Picture a home that’s not just built on land but hanging three metres above the ocean, leaning into the rhythm of the sea. That’s the Seapod for you—a clever, science‑fiction‑inspired dream that blends style with smart engineering.
What Makes the Seapod Truly Special
- Floatation Powerhouse: It’s not the glossy exterior that’s the hero; it’s the clever stack of air‑filled steel tubes hidden beneath the waves. Think of them as the invisible legs supporting your living space.
- Up, Up, and Away: The pods rest three metres above the splashing sea, giving you a serene, almost weightless feel that turns the usual “ol’ boat” vibe into a gentle lift.
- Compact Yet Complete: A snug 830 sq ft of space that packs a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, lounge, and storage all in one cozy package.
- Panorama Everywhere: Floor‑to‑ceiling windows wrap around the pod—so every angle is a view. Check out the sunset, watch dolphins, or just stare at the horizon while sipping your coffee.
- Diving right out the Door: Imagine stepping off the porch and plunging straight into the sea. That’s daily life opportunity turned new hobby.
- Eco‑Ready Off‑Grid: Built with water and electricity storage, the Seapod is ready for self‑sufficiency. No power grid? No problem.
- Smart Tech & Waste Solutions: The company is on the cutting edge of recycling waste and generating energy right on the pod—so you’re saving the planet while enjoying a luxurious lifestyle.
Build It, Upgrade It, Live It
Want to jazz up your Seapod? The design is like Make‑It‑Yourself because it’s built to be remotely upgradable. Add new modules—whether it’s a high‑tech kitchen upgrade, more storage, or even a digital “smart” loft—while you’re still getting seasick .
Physical changes do need a visit from the crew, but future upgrades can come right to your doorstep—literally an upgrade hotline so you can keep your floating home feeling fresh without stepping into a clinic.
Wrap‑Up
The Seapod isn’t just a house; it’s a floating reality that blends comfort, stability, and cutting‑edge tech. Get ready to live above the waves, stay cozy, and conquer the ocean—one splash at a time.

Floating Homes, Seabirds, and the Great Sea‑Proceedings
Imagine a home that bobbles on the waves, yet doubles as a backyard for your favourite ocean critters. That’s the dream behind Ocean Builders’ floating pods—think homes that play host to marine life like a seaside pop‑up zoo.
Why Do Seabound Creatures Love These Pods?
Shade and shelter are two big attractions for sea‑gardeners. Beneath a Seapod, fish, crabs, and even a few friendly jellyfish will gather like lunch‑time gossip. The pods create a natural habitat that’s as cozy for the ocean as it is for you.
Meet the Pod Squad
- Seapod – The original, floating paradise.
- Ecopod – Same design, greener materials, and a bank‑friendly price.
