Hakatai Tile Used in Boulder Co-working Space

The concept of “co-working,” referring to groups or individuals working independently in a shared office space, is an emerging trend in commercial design. The recently opened Candy Shop Creative Offices in Boulder, Colorado, exemplifies this idea. Joseph Vigil and Brandy LeMae, president and vice president, respectively, of VaST Architecture, opened the Candy Shop after renovating the mixed-use building for their own office headquarters. Recycled content glass mosaic tile from Hakatai was used in the shower room.

“We wanted to use the recycled glass tiles from Hakatai and we designed the bathroom with that in mind,” said LeMae. “We created a spa-like shower, and it’s one of my favorite rooms in the entire building. It has a real soft, soothing feel to it.”
VaST Architecture selected the Siberia Blend of paper-face mounted 1” x 2” tile, which features a mix of iridescent and matte finish tile.
