Craig Takahata

AIA

Craig is a principal and senior project designer with global experience and expertise in hospitality design. He has designed a number of major hotel, resort, office, commercial, residential, retail, mixed-use and master planning projects since 1992, and has worked in numerous countries across the world, including United States, Philippines, China, Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, Thailand and Indonesia.

As the former managing director for WATG’s Honolulu office, he has spent over 20 years servicing hospitality clients abroad for most major and boutique hotel brands. His approach to each project begins with a deep understanding of the culture and place-making of that specific location. This is then integrated into the design and planning, resulting in the creation of a truly unique destination experience.
