Architect / Project Manager / Designer
Karin was originally drawn to architecture for its seemingly broad scope in understanding systems and synergy at both a macro and micro level. She is fascinated by the patterns of relationships, behaviors, influences and motivations within the social, political, environmental and individual landscape and how these hinder, enhance or generally contribute towards an outcome. Ideologically, she is inspired by the many writings of futurist, architect and inventor, Buckminster Fuller.
A natural seeker, Karin was born asking “why.” Beyond just challenging the status quo she sought deeper understanding of self, others and community. From a young age, she was particularly adept at creating spaces and projects using found, recycled and natural objects. She appreciates design solutions that are original, playful, innovative, resourceful and responsible.
Karin is inspired daily by the enthusiasm, curiosity and playful spirit of her almost 7 year old son. These days, she is discovering a growing interest in urban homesteading with backyard chickens and gardening. When she is not spending time adventuring with her husband and son, she loves learning and embodying the mysteries and magic of the seen and unseen universe. Most recently she is fascinated by learning Bio Geometry, in addition to continued studies in astrology.

Kurt Reinkens and MWA designed my commercial building in downtown truckee after an explosion destroyed the historic building. Kurt delivered a building that fit nicely in old downtown truckee and the construction project came in on time and on budget. It does not get any better than that.
I was legal counsel to the design review committee of the Lahontan subdivision in Truckee during its first five years and as such saw all of the projects that came before the committee for review and approval. Kurt Reinken’s projects, and there were many, were nothing less than spectacular in design. Kurt is very bright and creative and I highly recommend him. Jim Porter, development attorney
