On July 5, 2012, we received a phone call from the San Francisco Giants. Our practice has never been the same. What began as a request to design a dormitory for their academy in the Dominican Republic became the start of an extraordinary journey.
Since that day, we have designed and completed three full campuses—not just dormitories, but full training facilities and master plans—for three Major League Baseball clubs in the Dominican Republic. We began with our hometown Giants and have since completed facilities for the Miami Marlins and the Arizona Diamondbacks.
We cannot thank these ball clubs enough. It has been a dream to bring their visions to life.
Equally, we could never have realized these projects without the immense talent of our partner architect in the Dominican Republic, JMF Arquitectos . Led by the illustrious José Mella Febles, their team brought unmatched expertise in both baseball training facilities and the art of building in the Dominican Republic. Alongside José, key leaders Amelia Mella, Rafael Ramirez, and Annelisse Garrido played indispensable roles. We tip our hats to their remarkable energy and talent.
We were invited into this work because our home team wanted a small, local firm. Because of them, we now feel like Giants.
