Designer/Drafter
Xu is originally from China. She was an automobile engineer but always fascinated by well-designed architecture, so she went to Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, east coast and got her Master degree of Architecture.
She was attracted by Lake Tahoe's beautiful views and houses when she went to the ski resort, so she decided to move to the west coast after two years working in Washington DC. She is always interested in interaction among nature, people and architecture. Doing some contributions to the community will be her best wishes.

When we decided to build on our lot at Lahontan we wondered how to choose the best architect for our needs and desires. We decided to interview and pay three architects for preliminary designs, designs based on what we stated we wanted. All three architects were personally recommended and came with excellent references.
After meeting with Kurt Reinken and seeing his plans and hearing his ideas, we knew he was the person to design our house. He incorporated our every wish into his design. He heard everything we said. He created excitement for us.
Working with Kurt has been a pleasure. He is responsive, always available for meetings, willing to accommodate changes and look into new ways of solving problems. He has a sense of humor. He conveys a sense of integrity in his work….that it be honest to the Tahoe-Truckee Sierra setting and sensitive to that environment.
