This new distillery spans two historic buildings on Mare Island in Vallejo, California, Buildings 45 and 65, connected by a historic passenger bridge. First, RIM began working on Building 45 in 2014, with developer Lennar Mare Island, to determine what potential this unique historic bunker might have. Not long after, Napa Valley winemaker, Dave Phinney, took interest in the historic features of this building and its’ neighbor, Building 65, and the vision for Savage & Cooke was born.   

Representative of some of the oldest buildings on Mare Island, the distillery features many unique details including brick cisterns that remain exposed for viewing, an old military bunker now home to a VIP tasting room, and beautiful brick detailing throughout. As Architect of Record, RIM was involved in historic review presentations and approvals, permitting, design documents, and construction administration. This distillery facility includes full distilling operations, office space, multiple levels of barrel storage, a tasting room with restrooms, and a rooftop gathering space. Located walking distance from the ferry terminal, Savage & Cooke is the first whiskey distillery on Mare Island and is part of a small group of companies revitalizing this area.

AWARD: 2017 GCA Excellence in Construction Merit Award

RIM’s client, Matson, is committed to providing superior reliability for more than two decades to the community of Guam. To better serve their customers, Matson decided to build a new headquarters, based in Anigua, Guam. RIM worked closely with Matson and the general contractor to design a building that would reflect their history of providing transportation to the Pacific since 1887. The inspiration came from Hawaiian Plantation Architecture, and the structure resembles stacked shipping containers. With sustainability in mind, sustainable features include energy efficient systems, low-e tinted glazing, recycled materials, and low VOC materials.
