The Retreat at Fort Baker
The Fort Baker Retreat Group
Marin Country, California
Located opposite Fort Point at the entrance to
San Francisco Bay, Fort Baker features essentially intact historic
structures and landscapes. The buildings represent some of the
nation’s finest turn-of-the-century military architecture,
and is listed as a historic district on
the National Register of Historic Places.
ARG is a member of the design
team lead by a developer to reuse Fort Baker as a conference
and retreat center. ARG is responsible for the design direction,
including master planning, programming, and design of new buildings
compatible with the historic district. The center will be located
in the historic buildings around the parade ground and in the adjacent
nonhistoric residential area, providing space for meetings, dining,
and accommodations for 156 guests. The project goal is to achieve
a Silver LEED rating from the U.S. Green Building Council for sustainability
in design, construction materials, and facility operations.
