Planning
Commercial Projects Mixed Use |
It is common to find land planners within civil engineering and landscape architecture firms with whom we often collaborate. Having the creative minds of the architects on the project early can offer an extra layer of perspective. Kurt Reinkens having been active in Truckee planning since 1987 and having served on the Town of Truckee Planning Commission, has gained valuable knowledge of the workings within Town Hall. The 30+ years of working within the Tahoe Basin on TRPA governed projects also has proven value. The experiences and insight have resulted in success with what were deemed controversial or complex projects.
The Sierra Business Council published “A Commercial and Mixed-Use Handbook” which includes the MWA project of (The Rock link) as a case study exemplifying a mixed-use neighborhood commercial project as a superior solution in the Sierra as compared to the traditional strip mall.

Anna and I wanted to tell once again how thrilled we are with your design of our home to be constructed in Tahoe Donner.
As builders of custom homes we have very high standards when designing our homes. especially one for our family to live in. We gave you an assignment that required you to meet my expectations from a constructability stand point and to express Anna’s functional and aesthetic desires. From my perspective as a builder you hit a homerun designing a home that will not only be cost effective to construct, and functional, but exceeded all of our design expectations. This home will truly be unique and very beautiful when constructed.
You listened to our needs and desires and gave us a home that takes full advantage of our entire 270 ° of views while designing it for our large family to feel at home in.
Please feel free to share this with anyone who needs convincing that you will give them everything they want and expect from an architect and then will exceed their expectations. It has been our pleasure working with you and we wish you the best of luck
