Interactive Resources provided comprehensive architectural and engineering services and was the co-developer for this 10,000 square foot infill project in the National Register Historic District of Point Richmond, California.
The front façade design incorporates bay windows, architectural exterior features and a parapet that references the historic fabric of an era gone by. The exterior finish and color scheme compliments and contextually addresses the adjacent existing structures. 
The site design maintains existing circulation paths, while incorporating accessible parking and ground floor street access.
The project also includes alterations and additions to the existing 100-year-old Baltic Restaurant building, including ADA accessible toilets, expansion of Kitchen and Storage and a new outdoor dining deck.

Green and Sustainable design characteristics of the Baltic Square project include the following.
•    The Baltic Square project design incorporates two 100+ year buildings. Both are contributing structures in the Point Richmond Historic District, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Placers. Adaptive reuse of existing buildings conserves resources and energy.
•    The building is sited in an established mixed use, walkable neighborhood with existing utility, public transportation and service infrastructure, thus providing energy conservation and reducing the need for automobile utilization. 
•    The site, including the parking lot, is generously landscaped, beyond zoning code requirements. Trees are actually inserted between parking spaces, in the European style. Shade from deciduous trees reduces summer temperatures in the urban zone and in the area adjacent to the new buildings, thus reducing energy costs. The parking lot is also designed to be used as an outdoor courtyard as a venue for events, including concerts, weddings, etc., thus providing multiple uses of building components.
•    All windows in the office portion of the building are operable, offering potential energy savings in the cooling season. All HVAC units have fresh air economizers, also providing energy savings during the cooling season. Natural lighting is maximized through the use of windows and skylights, reducing energy costs.
•    Roof coverings are white reflective materials, providing reduced heat load and energy savings during the cooling season.
