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 had the pleasure of working with MWA Architects on numerous projects dating back to 1990. Not only have I built homes they designed for mutual clients but I have hired them to design several homes for my family as well as multiple successful speculative projects. They possess the knowledge and expertise required for me, as a custom home builder, to easily connect the dots and bring our clients dreams to reality. Their flexibility and creative approach results in homes that are admired by many and loved by those with the privilege of living in them.
