Building on Tradition: The Exploration of a Practice with William Curtis and Russell Windham

Drayton Hall is proud to present the 2026 Preview Party Honorary Chairs, Bill Curtis & Russell Windham
Award-winning architects and authors of the new book Building on Tradition, William Curtis and Russell Windham are known for skillfully blending traditional architectural principles with a keen awareness of modern life. Join the duo as they talk about how they match their projects to their cultural and physical environment—understanding constraints, possibilities, and the local vernacular, whether it’s a windswept retreat on the California coast or a tree-lined enclave in Houston, Texas. The two acclaimed architects discuss the many dynamic stories of their decades long practice and reflect on what it means to build a passion-driven career from the ground up, all the while maintaining a deep and sincere attachment to the pursuit of thoughtful, worthwhile local architecture.
