Cavallo Point – the Lodge at the Golden Gate

Sausalito, California

The new Cavallo Point Lodge occupies 27 acres at the north end of the Golden Gate Bridge on a decommissioned Army base, which is now part of the Fort Baker National Register Historic District and Golden Gate National Parks. Twenty-one historic buildings were rehabilitated by Architectural Resources Group and 14 new structures were designed by Leddy Maytum Stacy. They were integrated into the historic site to create a conference and retreat center that is a model of preservation, sustainable development, and public-private-nonprofit partnership. Architectural Record reported on the unique project in their December 2008 issue.
