Arktide

What Arktide does

Arktide (doing business as Coquina) is a US-based, privately-held company developing modular floating homes and islands built with proprietary adaptations of airform concrete dome construction technology. Its core product line, "The Oasis," comprises pre-configured floating home models (Studio at $250,000, 1 Bed at $370,000, 2 Bed at $580,000) and a "Design Your Own" configurator with interchangeable deck, interior, kitchen, and bath modules, plus add-ons such as a $30,000 electric motor and $20,000 trailer. The structural system uses high-strength impermeable concrete and geopolymers rated for 100+ year lifespans, paired with integrated off-grid systems: solar power with battery backup, rainwater harvesting, desalination, greywater filtration, incinerating blackwater toilets, and small-scale aquaculture infrastructure under the hull.

The company sells directly to consumers through a website-based reservation system that accepts a free waitlist, a $200 priority waitlist, or a $50,000 priority deposit tied to a 120-day delivery commitment. Beyond consumer sales, Arktide positions its underlying floating-island construction platform for adjacent verticals — water-based tourism and hospitality, aquaculture, equatorial space launch infrastructure (citing a 25% payload uplift benefit), and OTEC renewable energy generation. The company is led by CEO Ben Silone and presents itself as actively seeking investors and partners; no funding rounds, revenue figures, patents, partnerships, or institutional customers are disclosed.

Direct peers

• Arkup: Miami-based builder of luxury self-elevating, solar-powered floating homes designed for hurricane resilience. Closely comparable to Arktide's Oasis in offering off-grid, sustainable, premium-priced floating residential units.
• Ocean Builders: Developer of floating homes and seasteading platforms sold directly to consumers. Shares Arktide's thesis that factory-built floating residences can form sustainable ocean communities, and competes for the same early-adopter buyer pool.
• WaterNest (Giancarlo Zema Design): Italian-designed 100% recyclable floating eco-homes powered by solar, marketed as sustainable off-grid residences on water. Targets the same luxury/eco-conscious floating-living buyer with similar fully off-grid, sustainable positioning.
• Batego: Austrian company developing prefabricated modular floating homes built in a factory and deployed on water. Competes with Arktide's modular Oasis line on the same prefab + sustainable on-water living thesis.

Emerging players

• ICON: Construction technology company using 3D printing and advanced materials to build resilient, sustainable homes. Comparable to Arktide in pushing new construction methods (3D-printed concrete) targeted at housing resilience and sustainability.
• Dura Vermeer WaterVilla: Dutch construction firm that developed the WaterVilla concept — floating, self-sufficient homes using solar power and sustainable systems. Overlaps with Arktide's off-grid floating home positioning in a European market.

Others

• Marinetek: Manufacturer of floating concrete pontoons, marinas, and breakwaters. Adjacent to Arktide through concrete floating-structure expertise and serves as a potential supplier or collaborator for marine-deployed platforms.

Broad incumbents

• Plant Prefab: California-based modular and prefabricated home manufacturer with sustainable building focus. Comparable to Arktide on the modular factory-built construction methodology and sustainability positioning, though land-based.
