Dezeen and developer Sellar have teamed up to commission illustrator Kelly Anna to create an artwork to wrap around the site of Paddington Square, an upcoming development in London designed by Renzo Piano Building Workshop.
The development is centred on a crystalline building that will house 14 floors of light-filled workspaces with views across London.
The building, which will stand next to a new public piazza, will have four floors of fashion shops along with bars and restaurants at its base above a new entrance to Paddington Underground station.

Paddington Square will be topped by west London's highest rooftop restaurants. The development is due to be completed in spring 2022. Kelly Anna explained how her artwork responds to the character of the development in an exclusive video interview filmed by Dezeen for Sellar, the developer managing Paddington Square.

The piece was commissioned by Dezeen and Sellar, which was also behind London Bridge's Renzo Piano-designed skyscraper The Shard, on behalf of owner Great Western Developments.
The artwork is entitled Nurture Nature and features the artist's signature athletic figures passing through a colourful landscape of plants and arched portals.
The artwork is installed in repeating tiles on hoarding that surrounds the building...
