Iconoclastic and intensely theatrical, Jade Mountain is one of the most dramatic and thought-provoking pieces of postmodern design on St. Lucia. Imagine a curvaceous organic form sinuously poised between the base of a rocky cliff and a hilltop stretching down a forested hillside to the sea. Also imagine about a dozen 30m-long (98-ft.) steel and masonry catwalks, each poised in midair between the cliff face and the mahogany louvers of a building. Every accommodation is a suite, each surface of which is sheathed with granite, tropical hardwood, stainless steel, copper, and tilework. Each accommodation also comes with a private infinity pool. The only thing missing within these plush and artfully minimalist suites is a wall separating the suite's interior from the wide-open view of the Pitons, the forested shoreline, and the sea.
