Transforming the Cleveland Guardians' Administrative Building

Client: Cleveland Guardians   I    Design: RiseDBI   I   Fabricator: Xibitz

Progressive Field opened in 1994. The Cleveland Guardians administrative building hasn’t been renovated since. As part of a larger revitalization to the ballpark, the administrative building received a well-deserved modernization. With RiseDBI leading the experience design, we fabricated and installed a suite of elements, graphics, and displays across the five floor building.

The scope included custom millwork, environmental branding, display cases, and experiential elements. Every detail needed to be cohesive and precise. When telling the story of a franchise dating back to 1901, quality is everything.

One of our favorite elements is the bat display, comprised of 85 Louisville sluggers. The mounting rails are machined to fit each bat, making them appear to float off the wall. It’s small details like these that make all the difference.

The result is an inspiring work environment that celebrates the Guardians and the people who make game day, and every day, possible.

We also installed a 60-cell Nostaboard in the ballpark’s Terrace Hall. Featuring player photos, quotes, and iconic Cleveland imagery, the split-flap display levels up the fan experience outside the Terrace Hall cafe. The Nostaboard depicts the Guardians’ excellence, legacy, and deep connections to Cleveland—bringing it all back to focus on what really matters: the game.

Uniquely Us: Understanding Race and Building Unity at the DoSeum

Client: DoSeum   I    Fabricator: Xibitz

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.

Silva Bar

Custom Fabrication Meets Carnival at Silva Restaurant and Bar

Client: Silva   I    Fabricator: Xibitz

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.

Carousel-themed bar built by Xibitz

Our custom fabrication team brought this concept to life through meticulous craftsmanship and innovative technical solutions. Six powder-coated aluminum poles support the floating shelves and carousel-inspired canopy. We applied a custom antique film to the mirrors, which allowed us to design a pattern with hidden imagery — rewarding the observant patron. A local artist hand-painted the wood panels, adding authentic artistic touches that connect the space with Grand Rapids’ creative community.

The marquee lights cap off the experience. Wired by hand, the lights play pre-programmed sequences, evoking the nostalgic charm of a vintage carousel in motion.

As a Grand Rapids-based company, this hometown project holds special significance for our team. We’re proud to have contributed to the cultural landscape of our community while showcasing the caliber of custom fabrication expertise available right here in Michigan.

Second Story & Beyond: Transforming a Library into an Interactive Children's Museum

Client: City of Rancho Cucamonga  I  Design: CambridgeSeven   I  Fabricator: Xibitz   I   AV: Electrosonic & RLMG   I  Subcontractor: Boss Display  

The Challenge

In an era where digital screens often dominate children’s attention, the City of Rancho Cucamonga, California, embarked on a daring journey to redefine the traditional library experience. Partnering with design experts CambridgeSeven and fabrication specialists Xibitz, the Rancho Cucamonga Public Library has unveiled a groundbreaking transformation of its second floor — now home to far more than books.

The aptly named Second Story and Beyond exhibition is an interactive wonderland that combines learning, sensory development, movement, and creativity. With a strong emphasis on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), the new library floor is designed to nurture curiosity and foster a love for learning through carefully curated hands-on experiences. 

Second Story_Entrance Square

The Result

This ambitious project was brought to life through the collaborative efforts of several key players:

  • CambridgeSeven: Provided the visionary experience design
  • Xibitz: Head of fabrication and overall project management
  • Boss Display: Created the incredible water table and overhead climber
  • Electrosonic: Implemented state-of-the-art AV hardware and media
  • RLMG: Provided high quality media content 
  • Taylor Studios and Moss: Contributed specialized expertise to various elements

One of the most innovative aspects of this project is the exhibit’s adaptability. The entire floor can be updated with new graphic packages that run through every exhibit, ensuring that the space remains fresh and engaging for years to come. This forward-thinking approach allows the library staff to continually evolve the experience, keeping pace with educational trends and community needs.

The Rancho Cucamonga Public Library’s transformation illustrates how traditional institutions can evolve to meet the changing needs of their communities. By creating a space that encourages active learning, sensory exploration, and creative play, the library has positioned itself as an essential hub for childhood development and family engagement.

RED HAT

Innovation Meets Fabrication at Red Hat's Boston Office

Client: Red Hat  I  Design: Downstream   I  Fabricator: Xibitz

The Challenge

Red Hat’s Boston office brings together their Executive Briefing Center, Open Innovation Labs, and Engineering community under one roof. The environment needed to emphasize collaboration and inspiration, not only for the Red Hat internal team, but for their visiting clients and partners as well.

Connecting the executive space with the main floor is a fantastic 17-foot video wall. We developed a system that both supported the waterfall screens and enabled easy maintenance. The steel frames were built using a drawer-slide method, allowing each monitor to slide out from the wall. This seemingly-simple solution required extreme precision — the final result had to look like one continuous, solid piece.

RED HAT

The Result

With numerous media interactives throughout the space, exacting quality was demanded to ensure an immersive, fluid experience. Guided by Downstream’s design vision, we successfully implemented custom graphics, displays, and a suite of technological solutions.

The Executive Briefing Center is a perfect example: wrapped in wall-to-wall touchscreen technology, it’s a testament of Red Hat’s own software solutions, while simultaneously fostering further collaboration and ideation.

From the responsive reception wall to the hidden bar, surprising and delightful moments bring energy and excitement to the space. Every addition contributes to a sense of wonder and inspiration — the perfect atmosphere for one of the world’s largest and most innovative tech companies.

Lights, Camera, Action: Local 4's Studio Transformation

Client: Local 4  I  Design: Wright Sets   I  Fabricator: Xibitz

BEFORE
AFTER

The Challenge

This was no superficial upgrade. Local 4 wanted a completely new set, replacing their outdated fixtures and green screens with sophisticated LED technology and a spacious, modern design. 

The entire set is supported by a robust frame produced in our workshop, designed to support the massive screens while allowing for passage behind the electronics for easy maintenance.

Surprisingly, the SEG system for this project is one of the standout elements. A network of LED’s provides color behind the grey SEG’s. Sophisticated mock-ups were required to achieve the precise color density to ensure a realistic look.

LOCAL 4

The Result

This redesign has transformed the news studio from top to bottom. With new sets for news, sports, and the weather, the space is more energizing, inspiring, and immersive. 

We are tremendously grateful to the Local 4 team for their trust and support throughout the project. It was a pleasure collaborating with Michael Wright and our partners at ReveLux to bring this design to life.

The Challenge

We teamed up with the creative masterminds at ZEBRADOG to give the Sheffield Indoor Tennis Center a major redesign. Our mission was to turn the facility into a place that not only better accommodates the needs of the staff and the men’s and women’s teams, but also into a place of pride for the esteemed program.

As the fabrication partner, we were responsible for carrying out that bold vision. From the signature blue tennis ball wall that greets guests at the entrance to the thoughtfully-designed team lounge, the details in this space are breathtaking.

A bright blue wall with white text reading "HOME OF THE BLUE DEVILS". Below the text are five blue-tinted tennis racket shapes arranged in a decorative pattern. A wooden door is visible to the left.

The Result

Tennis rackets and other materials combine with more traditional acrylic, metal, and wood to create an interior that is truly unique and intentional. Every element pays homage to the sport and the program: the tennis-ball inspired locker room light fixtures, the larger-than-life Hellraiser face, the mirrored Blue Devils wall.

It was a pleasure working with our partners at ZEBRADOG on this project, and of course we are tremendously grateful to the staff at Duke Athletics for all their hard work and support.

This redesign transformed the facility from top to bottom. The new space is a celebration of Duke University and the tennis program that is modern, energized, and inspired.

Building a mountain-inspired feature wall

Client: Confidentail  I  Designer: Perkins&Will  I  Fabricator:  Xibitz 

This impressive feature wall, spanning 52 feet across and 4 stories high, transformed the client’s Salt Lake City office. The monumental wall celebrates the breathtaking view of the Wasatch Mountain Range and gives a whole new meaning to “bringing the outside in.” It was a delight working in collaboration with Perkins&Will on this project. They translated this vision with a stunning level of precision and passion.

The project’s massive scale presented unique challenges, particularly in addressing building deflection across multiple floors. Our teams developed an ingenious solution using custom-made and 3D-printed components that allowed for slight vertical and horizontal movement, ensuring the installation remains stable and visually seamless.

The curtain wall is composed of different widths of anodized bronze tubes, strung with steel tension cable, suspended from the ceiling of the 20th floor. Lighting was integrated at the top, midpoint, and bottom of the wall. The result is a striking work of art that reflects the clients’ status and honors Utah’s unique natural landscape.

Bespoke Branded Environment for CNO Reception Lobby

Client: CNO Financial Group  I  Designer: SCB  I  Fabricator:  Xibitz 

Xibitz was privileged to collaborate with SCB on this brand wall, designed to complement the CNO Financial Group reception lobby.

By using powder-coated wood panels and pegs, the letters C, N, and O are made visible from all angles. The wall harmonizes with the overall interior design while providing a special, surprising moment. 

The attention to detail and planning from the designers at SCB made this project a real success. The final product looks seamless, although it’s made of several different components. The level of quality is a testament to the design team’s planning and coordination and Xibitz’ execution. The final piece speaks to the methodic design cues that contributed to the sophistication of the overall space.

The brand wall required a high level of craftsmanship, from the millwork details to the architectural alignment of the components. We are honored to have been able to contribute our expertise.
