WaffleKing | I've looked over the website and there doesn't seem to be a page for applying -- just a general contact/inquiry page. | 18:19:26 |

mikester__ | bensilone it's been quiet here for some time, can you maybe share some updates? I saw on Twitter that you "shipped" (lol) your first demo, how's it going? What are you trying to test with it, and how is it looking? | 18:26:46 |

bensilone | We’ve been very busy in Panama City, FL. We have a 30,000sqft facility there were we have continued materials testing, engineering, and prototyping. We just put the first module of our “Coquina” design in the water last week.
The concept for this was after discussing designs with numerous people in the area and finding flexibility was key. These are 12’x12’ modules that can be rigidly connected together to allow for anything from a single module dockhouse to an off grid tiny home to a larger home or up to a hotel.
The float provides space for fresh/gray/black water storage, and heavier items like batteries. Overall the design is focused having a lot of weight very low to create a very stable platform. | 15:17:52 |
bensilone | These are intended for protected waters, like bays, lakes, bayou, etc. With enough modules and with calm waters they could be moved out to gulf/ocean, though the float is 4ft high, so too large of waves will wash over the deck.
We will be using the same materials when we scale up to larger ocean based structures in the near future. | 15:20:04 |
bensilone | The base model many are interested is four of these modules, two indoor with 288sqft, and two outdoor with 288sqft shaded deck and 288sqft sun deck above it. This is a fully off grid tiny home.
Many in our area want to use them as vacation rentals, though some are interested in living on them or having a guesthouse at their dock. | 15:21:54 |
bensilone | The modular design also allows for many homes to be connected by deck modules to create communities. | 15:22:45 |
