It is no great question as to why the club owner is wanting the opinion of JWP: he is a classically trained architect (not one of those tik-tok architects) and an interior designer by force. So of course, JWP's eye for design is unmatched among all the globe. But you're absolutely right, Zerg. This is not in his contract. Therefore, after stretching his people pleasing muscle to its capacity, JWP finally has a sit down with the owner to let him know that the business decisions are affecting his practice and playing performance. But he is happy to continue doing it at a consultant level, but it has to be added to his existing contract or a new contract has to be drawn up. While the owner isn't thrilled about the prospect of paying for the advice (for that was half of the reason for drafting him in the first place), he eventually relents and agrees to offer JWP a contract for his design talents. JWP is currently allowing his lawyer to review the contract before signing it. Will update the story as it develops.
