Bathroom

General Information

The bathroom is 9.8m2 in size (sqr ft coming soon...). Bathroom layout PDF. Not all upgrades and features will be available at launch but most upgrades can be added to the Pods after they have been built. Many of the smart home upgrades will be launching in 2022 and will be fully compatible with all models.

 

Pocket Door

We will have a fiberglass Pocket Door that slides into the wall. A motorized upgrade is available so you can open/close the door with a button on the wall or via the Ocean Builders app. The motorized door comes with a braking system so the door is firmly held open or shut and will not slide on its own.

 

Walls

The walls are made of fiberglass with a gel coat finish.

 

Floor

Details coming soon...

 

Toilet

A low flush toilet comes standard.

 

Incinerator Toilet

We recommend having the incinerator toilet upgrade which incinerates toilet waste instead of storing it in blackwater tanks. The incinerator can be added at any time even after the SeaPod is completed.

 

Waterless Urinal (Upgrade)

We recommend using an odorless waterless urinal as it will greatly reduce the amount of toilet flushing that is needed and thus save on blackwater storage.

 

Bidet (Upgrade)

We recommend having a bidet upgrade on the toilet because it is much more sanitary and it reduces the need for toilet paper.

 

Sensors

There will be multiple sensors in the bathroom:

• Flame Detector (standard)
• Smoke/Gas detector
• Heat Dectect for fire
• Humidity (in bathroom and shower area)
• Movement sensor
• Temperature (in bathroom and shower area)
• Voice Assistant Mic (Optional with a manual master hardware switch) (Smart Home Upgrade)
• 2 NFC readers to activate the shower and bath (Smart Home Upgrade)

 

Audio (Upgrade)

Optional speakers can be installed if you want to have an audio system in the bathroom.

 

Smart Mirror (Upgrade)

This is a stand alone upgrade that can be added when it becomes available (no current deadline is available). A smart mirror is a touch enabled mirror that displays data and allows you to touch the screen to control home features.

Lighting

Indirect ceiling and floor LED light strips come as standard. They will be dimmable and will have an adjustable white color ranging from bluish white to yellow white shades.

 

Multicolor Lighting (Smart Home Upgrade)

The smart home upgrade package includes individually addressable multicolor LED lights with dedicated white LED light chips that are adjustable for blue tone white light during the day and yellow tone white light for use in the evening. You can Lighting can be controlled via the Ocean Builders app.

 

Fan

There will be a bathroom fan as well as a fan in the shower/bath area to help remove odors and humidity.

 

Qi Charger (Smart Home Upgrade)

A wireless charger can be built into the sink area so you can wirelessly charger your mobile devices.

 

Storage Space

(cubic space available coming soon...). Bathroom storage space is shown in red from multiple angles.

Shower

The shower is a massive 1.6m wide. Below are some draft images showing the shower door, shower window, bath space, and approximate size. 

The support structure for the shower/bath support is a 200mm diameter and 6mm thick steel pipe connected to the underwater spar structure.

 

Smart Shower

Voice enabled, swipe phone, A normal showerhead is installed by default. We recommend getting an upgrade to a Nebia showerhead which will save 40- consumption

 

Shower Head

A normal showerhead is installed by default. We recommend getting an upgrade to a Nebia showerhead which will save 40-60% on water consumption. This will help to greatly reduce the amount of greywater that needs to be treated, stored, or removed.

 

Endless Shower Water Saver (Upgrade)

We recommend using what we are calling an endless shower which is based on the showerloop concept. This system is capable of recycling 90% of the water going through the shower so that you can have a 20 minute shower with 2 minutes of water. This allows you to have a long hot luxurious shower with a significant reduction in your water consumption. This also allows you to reduce your energy consumption because there is less water that needs to be continually heated. You will get the same amount of water pressure from the showerhead.

 

Bath (Upgrade)

The shower is installed by default. We can upgrade the shower to include a bath which will require an additional water tank, water heaters, and water conditioning to help recycle some of the bath water after it has been used.
