Founded in 1945 by architects Osvaldo Toro FAIA (1914–1995), Miguel Ferrer FAIA (1914–2005) and engineer Luis Torregrosa Casellas, the firm designed some of Puerto Rico's most significant modern landmarks. The firm is known for its synthesis of the principles of the Modern Movement adapted to the tropical conditions of the Island. Major works include the Caribe Hilton Hotel (1945), the Aeropuerto Internacional de Isla Verde (1955), the Corte Suprema (Puerto Rico Supreme Court) (1955), the House of Representative's Annex Buildings (1955) and the Hotel La Concha (1958).
