Curtis & Windham Architects has been selected as one of Mountain Living’s 2013 Top Mountain Architects. The list appears in the September/October issue. The July issue of the magazine featured Table Rock Ranch, in “At Home on the River,” a Colorado fly-fishing property for which we completed a lodge, fishing cabins, and equipment barns along with comprehensive landscape design.
We are looking forward to the release of Phillip James Dodd’s new book, The Art of Classical Details: Theory, Design, and Craftsmanship, due on March 16. The Inwood Pool Pavilion is featured. The book takes a look at the world of contemporary classical architecture through an exploration of theory, methods, detail, and craftsmanship. With critical essays by leading architects and scholars and high-quality photographs, Dodd presents some of the best contemporary classical work being done today.
The Summer 2007 issue of New Old House profiles renovations and additions to several structures at a remote Montana ranch and fishing retreat. Based on a chapter in Russell Versaci’s “Creating a New Old House” (Taunton Press, 2003), author Logan Ward takes us through the design process in this ruggedly beautiful and sometimes inhospitable area, where it became clear that this was a project based on editing the existing pieces and responding appropriately to context.
Principal Bill Curtis remarked: “Russell and I are not troubled when a modest solution emerges. We don’t have to do that clichéd response. If we’re going to do a log cabin, it doesn’t have to be 35,000 square feet.” The context was already so strong that “to be more demonstrative would have been out of place.” Read the entire article and see rare photos of the property here.
