Fountain Grove Inn, Santa Rosa, Ca
The opening of the new Conference Center at the Fountaingrove Inn and
Equus Restaurant in Sonoma County is proof that even an excellent concept
can be expanded upon. This is what has happened at Fountaingrove Inn.
Nearly three years in the making, this forty suite addition includes
guestrooms, meeting and conference facilities, a banquet kitchen/restaurant,
outdoor patios, and a meeting/wine tasting cellar. The elegantly appointed
suites highlight separate living room and bedroom areas and feature
state-of-the-art telecommunications. The deluxe corner suites function
both as corporate hospitality suites and as spacious luxury environments
inviting romantic getaways. The Camelot Room accommodates 250 people
for meetings and/or banquets. It houses the latest in audiovisual equipment
and opens onto a new 1,300 square foot patio. The Executive Conference
Room is ideal for smaller groups and is conveniently situated next to
the business center. The Cavonnier Room, an elegant, private dining
room and wine cellar, is carved into the surrounding hillside. Named
for the famed Churchill Downs thoroughbred Cavonnier, who was reared
in Sebastopol, the room displays memorabilia from his 1996 Kentucky
Derby race.
Land Rover, San Rafael, Ca
Midstate Construction completed an addition and remodel to create a
new 12,400 square foot auto dealership in San Rafael for Land Rover.
The challenge in the construction of this project was highlighted by
the need to build the new structure and addition around the 4,000 square
foot existing brick structure. Due to potential soil settlement issues,
the 8,400 square foot addition was placed on nearly three feet of special
lightweight cellular fill. This addition contains a ten bay service
department, as well as Land Rover's trademark cabin-like showroom. The
showroom makes use of exposed beam trusses, tongue and groove decking,
a ceramic tile compass rose, which accents the sales floor, and extensive
wood cabinetry and millwork. The remodeled portion of the facility houses
the parts storage and the general office areas. The Land Rover facility
was build as a portion of the ShamrockRetain Center that also includes
the nearby Staples and Comp/USA stores. The retail center was once the
site of the old Shamrock Concrete Plant, which served the Marin County
area for many years. Midstate has also built Sonnen Motors and Sonnen
BMW dealership facilities in San Rafael.
Nut Tree Medical Arts Building, Vacaville, Ca
The three story, 30,000 square foot Nut Tree Medical Arts Center was
built for Dr. Gary Stein, a general practitioner and his limited partnership,
comprised of various specialists in the medical field. The building
provides Class A medical office space to fill a market niche in Vacaville
that had not previously been covered.
Petaluma Marina Business Center, Petaluma, Ca
Located at the Petaluma Marina, Office Building C, presented
Midstate with unique construction challenges. The three story, 48,000
square foot building was supported by friction piles driven in bay mud.
The steep embankment leading to the dock area required that all construction
equipment maintain a thirty-foot distance from the top of the slope,
necessitating a substantial reach for the piles at the water's edge.
To protect the structural steel and metal deck system from corrosion,
tnemic paint was applied to the underside of the first floor deck. Hardiplank
siding was used to preserve the marine charm of the building while providing
the needed resistivity to moisture. To meet the design and budget constraints
of the project in the most efficient manner, the Owner, Marina Office
Park Associates, contracted with Midstate on a Design and Construction
basis. Midstate's pre-construction responsibilities included examining
to virtually every building system for initial cost effectiveness as
well as lasting quality.

This new family water park features five swimming pools: tot pool,
instructional pool, activity pool, sports pool, and splash down pool.
The park opened with construction completed ahead of schedule. The park
amenities include four waterslides, extensive artificial rockwork, a
pool house with administrative offices and multi-purpose room, a food
pavilion, and a food kiosk. The pool areas on the ten acre site contain
a wading stream, island, fountains, waterfalls, lily pad course and
bridge.
Rheodyne, Rohnert Park, Ca
This 70,000 square foot manufacturing and corporate complex, sited
on five acres in the Rohnert Park Industrial Park, serves as Rheodyne's
world headquarters and manufacturing plant for the distribution of its
analytical instruments. The new facility nearly triples Rheodyne's previous
space in Cotati. The company, a dominant force in its field, manufactures
precision fluidic devices for worldwide distribution to the analytical
instrument industry. The building construction successfully combined
components of pre-engineered steel and tilt-up to produce an aesthetic,
cost effective solution to Rheodyne's operational requirements. AXIA
Architects of Santa Rosa designed the new complex. Site selection and
construction management was provided by Soiland Management Company of
Santa Rosa.
Sonnen BMW, San Rafael, Ca
The 31,423 square foot Sonnen BMW auto dealership, located on a 2.52
acre site in San Rafael, replaces the previous Sonnen facility in Mill
Valley. The two story project houses a showroom, custom reception and
corporate offices, and a service and parts department. The building's
structural elements include a sub-slab vapor monitoring system, a 1,500
cubic yard mat slab foundation system, masonry block walls, structural
steel and wood framed floors and roof. The exterior of the building
combines the use of plaster, aluminum column covers and fascia panels,
as well as the extensive use of glass storefront that surrounds the
dealership's showroom. The interior of the showroom incorporates tile
flooring, aluminum fascia panels and an 18-foot high aluminum paneled
ceiling, accented by two domed skylights. The interior spaces provide
a warm and inviting environment that makes a visit to Sonnen BMW the
ultimate automobile shopping experience.
Tiburon Town Hall, Tiburon, Ca
The 7,300 square foot Tiburon Town Hall, a two story board and batten
sided building with a clock tower, sits on a site framed by the bay
and surrounding hills. The landscaping, trellises, and multi-colored
precast pavers were designed to compliment the small town ambience of
Tiburon. The new building allows the town's administrative offices,
as well as the town council chambers, to be housed under one roof. Midstate
also built the Belvedere-Tiburon Library, next to the Tiburon Town Hall
site. Midstate has been involved in such other civic endeavors as the
renovations of the Santa Rosa City hall and the Old Sausalito City Hall.
