Xibitz proudly served as the primary fabrication partner for “Uniquely Us: Understanding Race and Building Unity,” a thoughtfully designed, interactive exhibition at The DoSeum in San Antonio. This traveling exhibit creates a safe, engaging space for learners of all ages to explore concepts of race, diversity, and human connection through hands-on experiences.

Working in close collaboration with The DoSeum’s in-house design team, Xibitz brought to life a series of imaginative, age-appropriate installations that combine science, storytelling, and sensory exploration. The exhibit’s distinctive visual identity features colorful PVC frameworks that define different activity zones while creating a cohesive, connected environment that invites discovery.

In the competitive hospitality industry, creating memorable guest experiences requires more than great service and cuisine—it demands distinctive environments that captivate and intrigue. When the visionary owner of Silva, a new restaurant and entertainment venue in Grand Rapids, approached Xibitz with a request for something “funky, weird, and different,” our team delivered an installation that transforms the functional necessity of a bar into an artistic focal point.

Silva found its home in a long-abandoned athletic club, complete with a wooden basketball court, glass-enclosed racquetball courts, and even a swimming pool. This unconventional space called for equally unconventional design elements that would honor the building’s history while creating something entirely new.

The lobby centerpiece is an ingenious aluminum lattice structure designed by Perkins&Will. It anchors the gathering space with immediate visual impact. The structure is composed of layers of laser-cut aluminum, each precisely cut to create the distinct pattern.

Adding visual depth and drama, an expansive wall behind the front desk gives off the illusion of a shimmering rainbow through fluted textures and color gradients.

The project’s distinctive branding elements elevate everyday spaces into memorable environments. A 26-foot wide basketball court graphic, UV-printed on acoustic wood planks, combines visual impact with sound control. In the spin studio, custom-fabricated stainless-steel logos appear to float on the mirror, adding dimension and energy to the space.
