We wanted to maximize the view, which is towards the Pacific and Puerto Vallarta, set between two golf fairways, and located adjacent to the St. Regis. The concepts that drove the project were \u201cHarmony\u201d, \u201cSunset\u201d, And an unbroken visual line between the interior and exterior spaces.
