SubAqua
=======

 Large Show Garden

 SubAqua is a design that revolves around the concept of incorporating water features in limited garden space. Recognizing that many people are unable to dedicate extensive areas to large ponds, SubAqua offers a solution that brings tranquillity and benefits to local wildlife. A sub grill rill running alongside the path establishes a sense of connection and serenity throughout the garden, accompanied by the soothing sound of water cascading down the waterfall between two distinct areas. The seating area outside the garden room or office is ingeniously suspended above a pond, serving dual purposes of providing a comfortable seating space while maximizing the area for wildlife and planting. A captivating aspect of this concept is that some of the planted species will grow through the gratings, allowing the uppermost parts of aquatic plants to be admired in an extraordinary setting, one rarely experienced. Embracing the idea of duality continues with the species-rich lawn, which offers a balance between fulfilling the desire for open space while promoting biodiversity. By showcasing a lawn that is not a meticulously manicured monoculture, SubAqua encourages a change in public perception regarding lawns and their role in supporting wildlife.
