Paul Cocksedge has recently completed the Living Staircase, a sculptural centrepiece in the Ampersand Building in London.

The project description

Paul Cocksedge’s design removes the load-bearing pillar from the centre of a traditional staircase design and replaces it with a series of zones for relaxation, creative thinking and informal workplace interaction.

Planting along the entire balustrade forms a ‘flying’ garden which can be tended by the office community and there is potential for the staircase to include edible planting such as fresh mint.

Paul said: “If a staircase is essentially about going from A to B, there is now a whole world living and breathing in the space between the two. I hope the Living Staircase will be used in ways we hadn’t at all expected! This is the beauty of it: it allows so much space for all kinds of activities. I’m really looking forward to Ampersand’s staff taking over the structure and making it totally their own.”
