Culture





We’re a team of dedicated professionals who take our craft seriously—but not ourselves. Our office is a lively, collaborative space where creativity thrives, conversations flow, and the occasional playlist keeps the energy up. Dogs are often snoozing at our feet, and on powder days, you might catch us carving out a little time on the slopes. Our hybrid work model provides staff with flexibility to work from home and the rewarding opportunity to be in-person at our creative studio in the heart of Truckee.

At MWA, we value intelligence, curiosity, and the ability to see both the details and the bigger picture. Our team stays ahead of the trends, bringing high levels of creativity and a passion for design to every project. We approach our work with integrity, fostering an environment where collaboration, respect, and openness help us consistently deliver our best.
We believe exceptional design begins with listening. By blending practicality with imagination, we create spaces that feel authentic and meaningful to the people and places they’re meant for. Our connection to nature and our love for Truckee’s unique culture inspire us to craft work that feels timeless and deeply rooted in its environment.

We are passionate about learning, growth, and opportunity—not just in our projects, but in our team. Whether it’s developing new skills, exploring creative challenges, or celebrating wins (big and small), we support each other’s professional goals and successes. If you’re passionate about design, excited by challenges, and eager to join a team that values creativity, connection, and camaraderie, we’d love to meet you.








In late 2003, I sent Kurt Reinkens, a senior partner at MWA, a 3-page letter describing the features that I wanted in a house on a lot in Northstar. Kurt and his team took the letter and went to the lot (numerous times) and designed a house that not only met but greatly exceeded my expectations.

There were already houses on each side so Kurt and his team designed my home so that I had total privacy even with 72 windows! I didn’t need a single blind in any room---l did put a few but they were not necessary for privacy.

No house can be done without modifications along the way. Kurt and I and the builder Jeff Cotton did these smoothly and with total cooperation among all three parties.

In addition, Kurt continued to always look for ways to make the design better. His unique placement and design of windows not only captured all the views but as I mentioned earlier kept the privacy.

I highly recommend Kurt and his firm to do any architectural project and I would use them again.
