Firestairs are one of the most neglected spaces in buildings. This project proposes to revitalize firestairs into communal spaces for casual meetings, exercises, recreation, meditation and as an educational resource for green buildings. Side walls of firestairs could be modified into vertical green walls of fire-retardant plants for fresh oxygen in the morning. Instead of driving to the parks or hills, residents could exercise by climbing the green firestairs dotted with reflexology-paths, exercise machines, waterfalls, fish-ponds, rock climbing…
Firestairs are RE/MIXED with nature thus creating a new lease of life while reducing carbon footprint.
