Design Philosophy
We design for Puerto Vallarta's specific context — deep overhanging roofs for shade, natural cross-ventilation to minimize AC dependency, strategic placement of pools and terraces to capture prevailing sea breezes, and the use of local materials that age gracefully in the tropical climate.
Permit Process in Puerto Vallarta
Building permits in Puerto Vallarta require detailed architectural and structural drawings, a memory of calculations, energy efficiency documentation, and payment of corresponding fees. Our team navigates the Ayuntamiento process efficiently, typically obtaining permits in 4-8 weeks for straightforward residential projects.
