ENVISION SYNERGY - ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN CONSULTATION, Section 2:

The projects below represent a broad range of design consulting, presentation and illustration capabilities spanning a period of from 1983 to 2001 under the name Design Synergy and then Envision Synergy from 1999 on. This work ranges from custom residential design, to commercial retail & entertainment, to destination resort hotels, planning of medium to large urban communities, and mixed-use community complexes. Most of these projects did not have an emphasis in sustainable design principles. However, the body of work that relates to sustainable design occurred in a parallel time period. This work, which relates directly to Envision Synergy's primary commitment, is covered in Section 4.

3: 1999- 2002   Garden Villas and South Tower expansion, Caesars Palace, Las Vegas, NV
Design Consultation for WATG Architects: Senior Designer responsible for Concept Design through Schematic Design.

The Caesars Palace Luxury Garden Villas consisted of 10 villas ranging in size from 3,500 SF to 11,000 SF and totaling approx. 60,000 SF. Conceived to be a Grand Roman Villa, the Garden Villas were elaborately detailed focused on a formal renaissance center garden and cascading fountains. The South Tower was 27 floors, with 1,000 Suites, 8 Grand Villas and a Gourmet Restaurant in the top three floors; there was also 72,000 SF of Convention and Meeting, as well as 65,000 SF of Retail in the Podium.

This project required a very fast design and response effort by the design team to meet the constant changes and challenges that were presented by the owners. The project was very ambitious and complex, in and of itself, and had many further complexities due to interfacing with the existing Caesars Palace Casino complex, and the need to maintain operations throughout construction.

The Senior Designer's role involved development of the initial concept and coordination of the design development of the Garden Villas through Schematic Design. During the South Tower and Podium development WATG split the work between two offices. The Senior Designer directed the design of the podium development and maintained esthetic overview of the tower.
4: 1996 - 1999   The Venetian Resort Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas, NV
Consulting Design for WATG Architects: Senior Designer responsible for Concept Design through SD, DD, CD & CA

DESIGN AWARD:   WATG and The Stubbins Group received the Las Vegas A.I.A. Chapter -1999 Design Merit Award for the Venetian Hotel

The Venetian Resort, completed in May of 1999, was a $1.5 Billion project involving a collaboration of two architectural design firms: WATG's Newport Office (WATG Nevada Inc.) and The Stubbins Group (out of Boston) Nevada Office (TSA Nevada Inc.) On an accelerated fast track, from initial concept to opening day, it took 3 years to design and complete construction.

Central features of the project included a 33 story, 3,000 all Suite, Hotel Tower which rises from a three story podium approximately 80' high. The exterior composition of the podium is comprised of a series of replica palaces considered to be representative of the historic icons of St. Marks Square and the Grand Canal of Venice. The podium consists of approximately 1.5 million SF of historically replicated/themed space, including on the Ground Level approximately 500,000 SF of Palatial Lobby, Grand Dome and Entry Hall, Casino and renown Restaurants, Ballrooms, and BOH support area.

On the Second Level, there is 500,000 SF of Grand Canal Shops beginning with a replication of the Grand Hall in the Doge's Palace from Venice. The Retail Promenade continues to a Venetian Canal Scene with sky ceiling that moves along 300 ft. of canals to a replication of St. Marks Square. Finally, on the Third Level, is approximately 300,000 SF of Pool Deck. The result is a very ambitious complex layering of uses to create an ultimate entertainment environment.

WATG's role was overall exterior design of the 33 story hotel tower along with the concept development and documentation of all themed elements on the exterior podium and plazas that front Las Vegas Blvd. Further, WATG was responsible for the concept development of the themed Retail Mall that begins with Great Hall, and the complete interior Venice street and canal that terminates at a replica of Saint Marks Square. WATG was also responsible for the documentation of the three main podium levels.

The Senior Designer lead the WATG effort in the development of the primary concept of the Venetian, lead in the overall detailing, and was the primary client contact for most design presentations as well as extensive construction oversight of the esthetic design features.
5: 1999   The Palazzo Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas, NV
Consulting Design for WATG Architects: Senior Designer responsible for Concept Design through Schematic Design

The Palazzo had much the same program as the Venetian. The primary difference is that the detailing on the exterior was intended to be from a later time period, that of the Grand Hotels at the turn of the century. Much of the schematic design was completed with a high level of detailing. WATG's role and the Senior Designer's role were much the same as on the Venetian.
