However, few connect climate change to flooding even though one in six homes face flood threats (according to the Environment Agency). The design emphasises these risks and shows how to incorporate measures to reduce the impact of waterlogged soil conditions. A bespoke pergola acts as a shaded place to sit and as a feature sculpture for the garden. A 'dead hedge' provides shelter and food to small mammals, and acts as a natural barrier to stem excess water flow. Crushed gravel drains surface water away and is wheelchair friendly. A curved boardwalk resembles the natural flow of a river, its meandering passage enabling a slower flow of water. With the path being raised, it is elevated above any waterlogged ground.
