the tattered cover

at McGregor Square

about

Tattered Cover is Colorado’s largest independent bookstore and has a longtime reputation as a guiding force for bringing people and books together. The McGregor Square design incorporates large expanses of exposed concrete structure paired with warm wood providing a balance to the space and harkening back to some of Tattered Cover’s previous locations. A grand staircase connects the two levels and a carpet runner in the traditional Tattered Cover green gives a sense of exploration beyond the visible. Abundant windows were intentionally left clear to provide a wash of natural light within the space while maintaining views to both Coors Field ballpark and downtown beyond.
