"Kristi at MWA designed a beautiful 'mountain modern' home for us. She listened to our needs and delivered a floor plan and home style that matched what we were envisioning. With high ceilings, a very efficient use of space, and indoor/outdoor living, we are very happy with the design. The process was also very painless on our end and Kristi's team was professional and helpful through the project. She is very detail oriented and addressed our questions thoroughly. We are happy we went with MWA for our project!"
