The MWA, Inc. Architecture team is headed by Principal Architects, Kurt Reinkens and Kristi Thompson, each with 30+ years of experience in architecture. Including Kurt and Kristi we have five licensed Architects on staff with licenses in California, Nevada, Colorado, Idaho, and Washington. We provide exceptional custom services, vast experience, and happy clients.

What we provide our clients is a totally custom experience and results. We distinguish ourselves by creating functional, bright, and beautiful custom designs, specific to your lot and to your lifestyle. In our experience, were you to need to sell, our design appeal brings in more buyers, faster, at higher sales prices than lesser designs and our compensation is more than paid for in increased sales price and shorter holding times. Of course while you live in it, you will reap the benefits every day of well thought out 'good bones' that were designed just for you.

Our builder/team-friendly approach and in-house cohesive engineering distinguish us from the competition. Builders tell us all the time that they love working with us and how easy our plans are to follow and how responsive and flexible we are to their needs. This teamwork results in less stress and a better finished home for you.

We find that good communication—between the architect, consultants, builder, subs and the building owner during construction—can be the major difference between a successful project and a failure. If everybody is on the same page and willing to learn from and listen to each other, your chance of getting a high quality building increases exponentially.

Our plans and specifications incorporate decades of experience designing in snow country. Our work as expert witnesses has taught us many invaluable lessons in how best to detail construction assemblies. Our construction details and specifications, followed closely by your builder, will protect your investment for a long time to come.

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.
