I would highly recommend MWA Architects to any potential new home owner or contractor. We chose MWA to design our full-time Truckee residence after considering several other architectural firms. MWA stood out as being one of the most creative and collaborative firms to work with, both important considerations for us.

Working with Kurt Reinkens and Kristi Thompson was a pleasure. MWA started out trying to understand how we wanted to interact in our home environment, and designed our home around the way that we wanted to live. Integrating the final design with our lifestyle with the natural environment around our property, the end result was truly our dream home.
