Building our Future

Enter The Crash Pad, the world’s first LEED Platinum hostel. Exceptional design, thoughtful operations, and continuous attention to detail have yielded a hostel that blends style and environmental efficiency like no other. Never before has a hostel been constructed with this level of forethought - for its guests and for its environment.

Modern, shared spaces are intentionally built to be long lasting and have a minimal impact on the natural environment around them - that is the way of the future. Humanity makes choices that affect our planet every minute of every day, and making sure that they affect it positively is increasingly critical. Check out what it means to create buildings that are the foundation for our future generations.

A special thanks to our skillful architects and contractor for making this project happen. Blythe Bailey and Taylor Bowers, of River Street Architecture, designed this award-winning building. The Collier Construction team, including Ethan Collier, Bryan Youngblood and Hamilton Brock, did a great job bringing our dream into reality. Also, a big thanks goes out to Haskel Sears Design and Set in Stone for creating a beautiful interior. Their respective wood and concrete mastery contributes greatly to our style and functionality.
