Rink Office
The Rink building is a renovated roller skating rink in downtown Boulder.
Haertling generally resisted doing renovations, but made an exception in this
case due to the
curved roof line
of the original structure.
It houses
offices
and indoor parking in the back. Haertling had his office
and the Haertling Art Gallery on the lower left side of the building
during the 1970's. The curved white stucco surfaces under the windows
of the second floor on the front of the building create an effective
hovering effect, a Haertling trademark, i.e. to make large structural
masses appear light, or hovering above lower structures, or the ground.
