Mountain Modern or Contemporary

Mountain Modern style designs are a fusion of contemporary, modern, or industrial styles with Cabin/ Rustic, Lodge, Craftsman, or Traditional/ Transitional style. This style features a mix of metals and woods, interesting use or reuse of materials, clean lines, and dramatic architectural details.

Contemporary style designs are the opposite of classic with smooth profiles instead of ornament. This style features bold and popular designs, sleek kitchens, mixed and matched textures, open space and natural light.

Modern Rustic

Kristi and MWA designed a beautiful "mountain modern" home for us. She listened to our needs and delivered a floor plan an home style that matched what we were envisioning. With high ceilings, a very efficient use of space, and indoor/outdoor living, we are very happy with the design. The process was also very painful on our end and Kristi's team was professional and helpful throughout the project. She is very detail oriented and addressed our questions thoroughly. We are happy we went with MWA for our project!
