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.
CONCEPT DESIGN
Charrette / Site Visit | 1 week (2 days on site)

event caused beyond the reasonable control of the parties of this
Agreement, allowing performance by either party under this Agreement
impossible, the parties subject to the force majeure may terminate this
Agreement by fifteen (15) days written notice to the other
4. Payment in event of force majeure: In a force majeure termination of
this Agreement by Client, WATG will be compensated for all services

completed to the date of termination.
5. Notices: Notices hereunder are effective if sent by first class mail (or its
equivalent), postage prepaid, courier or fax, to the addresses listed and to
the individuals named first above, or to the different person and at the
different address, if any, set out here.
6. Architect’s standard of care; disclaimer of warranties: WATG will
perform professional services in a manner consistent with that level of care
and skill ordinarily exercised by members of the architectural profession
practicing under similar conditions and circumstances. No other warranty
or representation to Client or its contractors and subcontractors,
expressed or implied, is included or intended in this Agreement, or in
any report, drawing, design, document, information expressed in
electronic media, or otherwise. Without in any way limiting the generality
of the foregoing, but only by way of example, WATG makes no
representation to Client with respect to (1) the effect on the Project of any
law, rule, regulation, ordinance, or mandate; or (2) the utility, readability,
accuracy, completeness or durability of any computer-aided design file or
program.
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.
8. Client to indemnify architect, others: Client agrees to indemnify, defend
and hold harmless WATG and each of its shareholders, directors, officers,
partners, employees, agents, subsidiaries, and divisions (and each of their
heirs, successors, and assigns) from any and all claims, demands, liabilities,
suits, causes of action, judgments, costs and expenses, including reasonable
attorneys’ fees, arising, or allegedly arising from, personal injury, including
death, property damage, including loss of use thereof, economic loss, or
otherwise, due in any manner to the error, omission, negligence,
recklessness or intentional act of Client or any of its agents, employees, or
contractors as a result of performance of the Project, whether any error,
omission, negligence, recklessness or intentional act of WATG or any other
indemnitee contributed thereto, except in a case where WATG or another
indemnitee is the only negligent party, as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction, in which case no indemnification is owed to the
solely negligent party.
9. Architect’s rights in certain property: Design drawings, renderings,
models, specifications, electronic files (including, but not limited to, CAD,
databases and spreadsheets), and other derivations that are part of the
Project are the intellectual property of WATG, are intended for use solely
with respect to this Project, and, unless otherwise provided, WATG will be
deemed the author of these documents and will retain all common law,
statutory and other reserved rights, including the copyright. 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. Reuse without WATG’s professional involvement
will be at Client’s sole risk and without liability to WATG. Client will
indemnify and hold harmless WATG, WATG’s consultants and agents and
employees or any of them from and against claims, damages, losses and
expenses, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising
out of unauthorized reuse of drawings, specifications, electronic data and
other instruments that are part of the Project.
10. Computer-Aided Design (“CAD”): In order to facilitate the design
and coordination of the Project, WATG may draw in AutoCAD 2005, or
later, CAD format, in which case, the following provisions apply:
WATG’s instruments of service hereunder are the printed hard copy
drawings and specifications issued for the Project, whereas electronic
media, including CAD files, are tools for their preparation. 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. Client is granted a license for
their use, but only in the operation and maintenance of the Project for
no additional fee. Use of these materials for modification, extension, or
expansion of this Project or on any other Project, unless under the
direction of WATG, will be without liability to WATG and WATG’s
consultants. Because data stored in electronic media form can be altered,
either intentionally or unintentionally, by transcription, machine error,
environmental factors, or by operators, it is agreed that Client will
indemnify, defend, save harmless WATG, WATG’s consultants, and the
officers and employees of any of them from and against any and all
claims, liabilities, damages, losses and costs, including but not limited to
costs of defense, arising out of changes or modifications to the data in
electronic media form in Client’s possession or released to others by
Client and for any use of the electronic media and printed hard copy
drawings and specifications outside the license granted by this provision.
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.
11. Missoni Nevis – West Indies, Caribbean | Project #114065 Page 11
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’s materials will not include Client’s confidential or
proprietary information, if Client has previously advised WATG in writing
of specific information considered by Client to be confidential or Project.
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.
15. Non Solicitation: During the term of this Agreement and for a period
of two (2) years following the termination of this Agreement, Client shall
not directly or indirectly through another entity or otherwise (i) call on,
solicit, induce or attempt to induce any employee of, or consultant to,
WATG or its subsidiaries, to leave the employ of, or consultancy to,
WATG or its subsidiaries, or in any way interfere with the relationship
between WATG and any employee or consultant thereof; or (ii) hire any
person who was an employee of, or consultant to, WATG or its
subsidiaries at any time during the such period (it being conclusively
presumed by the parties so as to avoid any disputes under this paragraph
that any such hiring within such period is in violation of this provision)
16. Disclaimer of Personal Liability: Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, neither the directors, officers, employees, members, nor
shareholders of WATG (except as otherwise provided herein), nor any
person or entity holding any interest in WATG, shall be personally liable,
whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any default by WATG in the
performance of any of the obligations of WATG under this Agreement.
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.
18. Taxes: All professional fees or any other compensation are net
amounts, and do not include any Local Architect’s fees or local taxes, if
any. Client will be responsible for any taxes due outside the United
States. WATG will be responsible for any United States and state taxes.

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.

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.

21. 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.
