Structural Designer
Alexandra was raised in the Owens Valley, after which she moved to the Bay Area to earn a BA in Literature from San Francisco State University. She spent 5 wonderful years in Japan, and after returning to the states, was guided by a deep urge to build. This led her to an internship with a master cabinet maker, and a career as a finish carpenter for one of Reno's finest custom home builders. Currently, she and her cohort are helping to build the first accredited Architecture degree program in Northern Nevada at Truckee Meadows Community College, where she is on track to earn a Bachelors of Architecture. She is thrilled to continue her pursuit of building at MWA, and someday become a licensed architect. In her free time, you will find her in the desert, the mountains, or the forest, with a guitar and a notebook.
All Staff
We are writing to recommend Kurt Reinkens of MWA, lnc. based on his outstanding work on the design and construction of our home at Lahontan.
After purchasing a lot in the spring of 2006, we retained Kurt to develop plans. Within a few months, the plans were completed, we retained a contractor, and we obtained approval from Lahontan to proceed. The process was flawless and working with Kurt and his staff was a pleasure. He helped us select an excellent contractor and he developed a set of plans that maximized our views yet still preserved our privacy. Once construction was underway, Kurt worked closely with us and with our contractor to select interior and exterior finishes. He also developed an excellent landscape plan and helped us select a landscape contractor.
Because we live in the Bay Area, a lot of our communication with Kurt was by e-mail or telephone conference. We found him to be very responsive, so that designing and building a new home “long range” wasn’t a problem. We especially appreciated the fact that hurt would typically propose a number of solutions to an issue, give us the pros and cons of each, so we felt fully informed when making decisions.
Construction was completed exactly on schedule in September 2007. We are extremely pleased with every aspect of our new home and are very grateful to Kurt for an outstanding result.
