Anne Souza
Design Technician



Anne grew up in the Reno/Tahoe area, surrounded by the outdoors and ski slopes from a young age. She developed an interest in architecture from her mom who would always point out the beauty in buildings wherever she was. After graduating from the University of Virginia in 2019 with a Bachelor of Science in Architecture she moved back home to the mountains.

Anne joined MWA in 2020 after working for some time in the Truckee area helping with residential development. She is now working towards developing her architectural and design skills with the goal of one day becoming a Registered Architect.

MWA and specifically Kristi Thompson took an eye sore of a house, tore it down, and redesigned a beautiful mountain home on the same foot print. Most importantly, she designed the house "we " wanted. WE wanted an open floor plan that maximized our view of the Martis Valley, accommodated our grown children's families, and utilized low maintenance materials ( like tile and stone floors, pavers on the patio and driveway).
BUT the best part of all is all the little things Kristi did that are just part of their "normal" design. Like- extra wide counters, exposed beams in all the rooms, great roof line design, no exposed beams under the roof overhang, fantastic window placement and size, outdoor entries that make access easy in the winter and summer. and the functionallity of the floor plan.
Each time we use the house, whether it's my wife and I, or our whole family , we love it. It's cozy for two or twelve.
They always say you get what you pay for. So if you want a low ball price use another firm. But if you are willing to pay a little more---you will get the house of your dreams.
Frank and Dianne Hodges
