Toro y Ferrer was an architectural firm and one of the principal exponents of Puerto Rico's tropical modernism. Founded in 1945 by Osvaldo Toro FAIA (1914–1995), Miguel Ferrer FAIA (1914–2005) and Luis Torregrosa Casellas, the firm designed some of Puerto Rico's most significant modern landmarks. 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 Representatives' Annex Buildings (1955) and the Hotel La Concha (1958).[1]
Osvaldo Toro FAIA (1914–1995) studied architecture at Columbia University, graduating in 1937. Miguel Ferrer FAIA (1914–2005) studied architecture at Cornell University, graduating in 1938. Both were members of the College of Fellows of the American Institute of Architects and recipients of the Henry Klumb Award in 1986.
The firm was known by various names including Toro Ferrer y Torregrosa before settling on Toro-Ferrer.
