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

We purchased our home new around 20 years ago and we wanted a firm to guide us in a transformation that would include the addition of 2 more bedrooms, a wine cellar, a spa and expanded family room. After interviewing several design firms we choose to work with Kristi and her team at MWA and we are very satisfied with our choice.

The project was extensive and included an excavation under the existing home to add a third floor and expansion of the home’s footprint to accommodate access to the 3 floors. MWA developed a creative floor plan and brought their engineering expertise to a rather complex project. The project is recently completed and we are very pleased with the results and we now have a beautiful home with plenty of room for our grandchildren and guests.
