Mountain Modern or Contemporary

Mountain Modern style designs are a fusion of contemporary, modern, or industrial styles with Cabin/ Rustic, Lodge, Craftsman, or Traditional/ Transitional style. This style features a mix of metals and woods, interesting use or reuse of materials, clean lines, and dramatic architectural details.

Contemporary style designs are the opposite of classic with smooth profiles instead of ornament. This style features bold and popular designs, sleek kitchens, mixed and matched textures, open space and natural light.

I have worked with MWA Architects on a number of projects over the years both as a member of the consultant team and as the Developer. My experience working with them in both capacities has provided me a comprehensive perspective of their outstanding knowledge, capabilities and service. MWA has extensive project experience in the local environment working with the applicable jurisdictions. In addition they utilize other highly qualified professionals in assembling their project teams. While these attributes clearly provide their clients an excellent value MWA also prides themselves on producing quality projects. MWA Architects have continually demonstrated exceptional ability in navigating projects successfully though all the planning, design, approvals and construction processes. Retaining MWA as the prime consultant for pursuing a development project in the Truckee region is unquestionably a positive choice.
