“The hotels designed by WATG in our global portfolio successfully and consistently balance aesthetics, market needs and operational imperatives while satisfying the owner’s objectives of maximizing value and profitability.” Laurence Geller CEO Strategic Hotel Capital


client’s consultant(s) We anticipate that the Client will secure the expertise of other design consultants necessary for the successful design and implementation of this project. It is essential that the other consultants are engaged in a timely manner to ensure the flow of critical information during the design process. The Client’s consultants include, but are not limited to, civil, geotechnical survey, quantity surveyor, and other consultants that may be required for the Project.

SCOPE OF SERVICES WATG will review the preliminary design brief and area program provided by the Client for the project. WATG will prepare conceptual architectural plans and layouts for the hotel. This will be reviewed with the Client and modified further based on their feedback regarding the conceptual design direction. WATG shall be responsible for establishing the overall architectural and aesthetic character of the Project.

7. Limitation of architect’s liability: WATG’s liability, or that of its consultants, to Client for any actions, damages, claims, demands, judgments, losses, costs, and expenses arising out of or resulting from the negligent acts, errors, or omissions of WATG or its consultants is limited to the lowest of (1) the actual proceeds from insurance coverage provided by WATG and its Consultants professional liability insurance policies; (2) the amount of any settlement or judgment; or (3) the amount of compensation paid to WATG under this Agreement.

Client will be permitted to retain copies, including reproducible copies, of WATG’s drawings, specifications or other documents, including such expressed on electronic media; however, such copies will not be used by Client or others on other projects, for additions to this Project, or for completion of this Project by others, unless WATG is adjudged to be in default under this Agreement, except by agreement in writing and with appropriate compensation to WATG.

As a convenience to Client, WATG will furnish to Client both printed hard copies and electronic media. In the event of a conflict in their content, however, the printed hard copies will take precedence over the electronic media.

WATG’s electronic media are furnished without guarantee of compatibility with Client’s software or hardware, and WATG’s sole responsibility for the electronic media is to furnish a replacement for defective disks within thirty (30) days after delivery to Client.

WATG retains ownership of printed hard copy drawings and specifications and the electronic media.

WATG will not be responsible to provide the input of any other consultant discipline.

WATG reserves the right to choose which drawings are most appropriate to complete in CAD format and which drawings will be produced by hand.

11. Use of electronic media, in general: Use of the electronic information contained on computer disks and tapes is made by Client with this written permission of WATG. Client will not copy these disks or tapes and will return them to WATG upon demand. Client acknowledges that information provided in electronic media must be confirmed and coordinated, and will be responsible for any use of this information.


Since information contained represents works in progress, use of this information is the responsibility of Client. WATG assumes no liability for usage subject to damages and reimbursement of all legal costs of WATG related to use outside this Agreement

12. Architect’s right to publicity: WATG will have the right to include representations of the design of the Project, including photographs of exterior and interior, among WATG’s promotional and professional materials.

WATG will be given credit for architectural services related to the Project. All press releases and public relations materials with reference to the architectural design will credit the architectural design of the Project to WATG. Whenever possible, Client will consult with WATG concerning all promotional materials pertaining to the Project prior to the release of such materials. WATG agrees to cooperate with Client to gain desired media coverage for Project.

13. Severability: If any court or agency of competent jurisdiction determines that one or more portions of this Agreement is illegal or unenforceable, such portions will be considered severed from the Agreement and all remaining portions shall be enforced.

14. Jurisdiction and choice of law: Any dispute arising under this Agreement will be submitted for decision to the law courts of the country where WATG is located, as first stated above, and be decided under the laws of that country.

17. Waiver of Consequential Damages: Client hereby waives to the fullest extent possible any and all claims or rights to consequential damages arising out of WATG’s and its consultants’ performance under this Agreement.

challenge

The design challenge was to maximize the potential of a steep, rugged piece of coastal land in Grenada to create a resort environment.

solution

The low-scale hotel was located in a pocket of land above the main beach to provide all guestrooms with ocean views and access to a pristine, crescent-shaped beach in a protected bay. The luxury trophy villas were perched atop dramatic cliff side locations to maximize their value while the smaller villas were located further back on the site along valley ravines with distant ocean views.

challenge

The design challenge was to create a boutique environment of 24 luxury guest rooms with primary views of the emerald waters of Providenciales. The visual inspiration provided by the client was to imagine “millionaires with sand between their toes”.

solution

The white beach sand is pulled deep into the site to touch the front steps of the units. Dining is to occur under the swaying coco palms on removable dining platforms. And the private pool areas, for quiet reading, are surrounded by low-rise colonial architecture.

challenge

The design challenge was to create a unique and exclusive sustainable destination consisting of luxury safari lodges in various locations throughout the private Grumeti Game Reserve.

solution

A hilltop lodge was designed in the style of an East African colonial manor home with awe-inspiring views over the Serengeti plains. The resort was positioned on the renowned migratory route traversed annually by more than a million wildebeest and home to large herds of resident game that give incredible game viewing all year round. The lodge can accommodate up to 30 people, with one to four bed suites arranged across the seven cottages, each with their own infinity pool and private gardens.

Sasakwa Lodge - Singita Grumeti ReservesSerengeti, Tanzania

challenge

The challenge was to design a residence that would allow for entertainment and leisure activities while retaining a sense of privacy. It also needed to be designed and constructed to withstand the potential devastating forces of a hurricane.

solution

The house was situated to take advantage of the spectacular views as well as the cooling breezes from the sea. It is broken up into four distinct wings connected by open breezeways. The lower level is clad in natural stone while the upper level has deep balconies and roof overhangs to shade the windows. Special building materials were utilized to reinforce the structure; windows and doors were custom manufactured to meet the stringent hurricane code requirements.
