Shah Habibi
Designer/Drafter; BIM Manager & IT Technician



Born and raised in Iran, Shah's journey included living in Turkey before making his way to the United States, fostering a profound passion for diverse cultures and international architecture. His academic path led him to UC Berkeley, where he engaged more in architectural studies in an enriching environment. In the Bay Area, he gained experience working on commercial and multifamily buildings, and now residing amidst the picturesque landscapes of Tahoe, Shah's focus has shifted towards a deep love for custom mountain residential homes, finding inspiration from the natural surroundings and enjoying activities such as hiking, fishing, and backpacking in his leisure time. Additionally, at MWA, he takes on the role of IT and BIM manager when not engaged in architecture.


All Staff

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.
