Aspen Grove Climber – 16 Street Mall – Denver, CO

A climbable sculpture consisting of a stand of graceful, textured aspen trunks that support a suspended spherical sanctuary, an enclosed spiral staircase, and an accessible bird’s nest swing below. A brilliant canopy of leaf-like, organic shapes provides shade from above. Aspen Grove Climber is a signature sculptural feature of Denver’s 16th St. redevelopment.
