Fancy a new home with a difference? How’s about a decommissioned oil rig?
No really, according to a new report by the Royal Institute of British Architects and the Institution of Civil Engineers, North Sea oil platforms should be towed to coastal areas at risk of flooding from rising sea levels. This would see them converted into homes, shops and mini towns and means those considering a quick house sale so they can move inland now have another option.
You may laugh (i did) but UK Climate Projections predict that by 2095, just 85 years from now, sea levels would rise by up to 76cm. Already, about ten million people live in areas at risk of flooding in England and Wales and this proposal suggests an air of British spirit, instead of retreating, attack and embrace all in one.
