Architecture in Motion: Four Architectural Projects Taking Shape Around the World

From Heber Valley, USA, to the Mexican Pacific, architecture is taking shape—transforming ideas, landscapes, and visions into places designed to be lived.

Architecture is often imagined as something finished: a completed building, a defined silhouette, a space ready to be inhabited. But some of its most compelling moments happen long before that.

They happen on site.

They happen when drawings become structures, when materials begin to define spaces, and when an architectural vision starts to interact with the landscape it was designed for.

Architecture in Motion brings together four of our latest projects currently under construction across Mexico and the United States. From coastal residences and luxury hospitality to mixed-use urban development and mountain destinations, each project responds to a different environment, yet all share a common approach: architecture that begins with understanding its context.

From Mazatlán and Los Cabos to Monterrey and Heber Valley, these projects are taking shape across very different landscapes and communities. Together, they offer a glimpse into how architecture evolves from concept to built form.

Four Projects, Four Contexts, One Architectural Vision

Every location presents its own opportunities and challenges.

The Pacific coast calls for a close relationship with water and natural light. A historic urban center demands a thoughtful connection to the city. A luxury resort becomes part of an extraordinary landscape, while a mountain destination must respond to topography, climate, and the rhythms of outdoor living.

These four projects illustrate how architecture can respond to each condition without losing sight of the experience it seeks to create.

Marina Costa Bonita — Mazatlán, Mexico

Where coastal architecture meets marina living

Along the Pacific coast of Mazatlán, Mexico, Marina Costa Bonita brings together residential architecture, waterfront living, and the marina environment in one cohesive destination.

Designed around its relationship with the Pacific, the development places the surrounding landscape at the center of the residential experience. Open layouts and expansive terraces extend the living spaces outward, creating a continuous dialogue between interior spaces, outdoor areas, and the water.

The architecture is conceived not simply as a collection of residences, but as a way of experiencing coastal life—where views, openness, natural light, and proximity to the marina become integral parts of everyday living.

With 156 residences across five residence types, Marina Costa Bonita offers a diverse residential experience while maintaining a strong architectural identity.

• 156 residences

• 5 residence types

• 218 m² largest residence

As construction progresses, the project begins to reveal how its architectural vision translates into a waterfront environment shaped by the Pacific.

Amára Centro — Monterrey, Mexico

Reconnecting architecture, public space, and the city

In the heart of Monterrey, Mexico, Amára Centro takes a different approach.

Rather than looking toward the horizon, this mixed-use development looks inward and outward at the same time—connecting architecture with the historic character of the city and creating new opportunities for people to gather.

At the center of the project, Plaza Alameda becomes an important element of this relationship. Landscaped areas, terraces, and gathering spaces create a public realm that connects the development and encourages movement between the buildings and the surrounding urban environment.

The result is more than a mixed-use development. It is an urban intervention designed to create a more active relationship between architecture, public space, and city life.

With 14,674.85 m² of built area, 79 residences, and 23 levels, Amára Centro represents a contemporary addition to Monterrey’s evolving urban landscape.

• 14,674.85 m² built area

• 79 residences

• 23 levels

As the structure rises, the relationship between the architecture and Plaza Alameda becomes increasingly tangible—turning an architectural concept into a new piece of the city.

The St. Regis Los Cabos — Los Cabos, Mexico

Architecture shaped by the ocean and the landscape

Further west, where the desert landscape meets the Pacific, The St. Regis Los Cabos is taking shape along an extraordinary 366 meters of oceanfront.

Here, architecture and landscape are inseparable.

Inspired by the natural character and topography of Cabo, the project is designed around a fluid relationship between indoor and outdoor living. Patios, terraces, pools, and shaded spaces extend the villas toward the landscape, creating a gradual transition between private interiors and the beach beyond.

The architecture responds to its setting rather than competing with it. Light, views, vegetation, water, and natural topography become essential components of the experience.

The project encompasses a 133,546 m² site and includes 10 St. Regis Villas, positioned within one of Los Cabos' most distinctive coastal environments.

• 133,546 m² site

• 366 m oceanfront

• 10 St. Regis Villas

As construction advances, the project begins to reveal a vision where luxury hospitality architecture is deeply connected to place—where the ocean is not simply a backdrop, but part of the architecture itself.

Andaz The Slope — Heber Valley, USA

A new vision for mountain living

From the Pacific coast, the journey moves north to Heber Valley, Utah, where the landscape changes dramatically.

Surrounded by the Wasatch Mountains and set along the Provo River, Andaz The Slope reimagines mountain living as a village where architecture, landscape, hospitality, and community come together.

Rather than imposing a singular architectural gesture on the landscape, the project follows the natural contours of the land. Its walkable environment creates connections between residences, public spaces, hospitality experiences, and the outdoors.

At the heart of the destination is one of its most distinctive features: a year-round sledding hill, conceived as a gathering place that brings movement and play into the center of the community throughout the seasons.

The project includes 140 branded townhomes and 68,290 m² of total built area, creating a mountain destination designed around connection, recreation, and year-round living.

• 140 branded townhomes

• 68,290 m² total built area

• Year-round sledding hill

  
  

Here, architecture becomes part of a larger landscape experience—one that encourages people to move through it, gather within it, and connect with the mountains around them.

From Construction Site to Living Architecture

These four projects may be separated by thousands of kilometers, climates, and cultures, but they share a fundamental idea: architecture is never created in isolation.

It emerges from a conversation between place, people, landscape, and purpose.

In Mazatlán, that conversation begins with the Pacific and waterfront living.

In Monterrey, it is shaped by the city and the creation of new public space.

In Los Cabos, architecture responds to the meeting point between desert, ocean, and topography.

And in Heber Valley, the mountains and natural contours establish the foundation for a new way of living.

Construction is the moment when those ideas begin to become tangible.

A line on a drawing becomes a wall. A concept becomes a space. A vision begins to acquire scale, texture, light, and presence.

And ultimately, architecture moves from paper to place.

Architecture in Motion

As these projects continue to progress, every new structure, landscape element, and architectural detail brings them closer to their final form.

But the story does not end when construction is complete.

That is when another chapter begins: when architecture is inhabited, experienced, and becomes part of the life of a place.

From the mountains of Utah to the Pacific coast of Mexico, our architecture continues to take shape—one project, one landscape, and one vision at a time.
