Russell Windham’s passion for architecture is rooted in the Texas landscape of his youth, where the vast plains and simple structures sparked an early fascination with space and form. After honing his skills at a prestigious London firm, steeped in classicism, Russell settled in Houston, eager to bring his own visions to life. In 1992, he joined forces with William Curtis, establishing Curtis & Windham Architects with a shared commitment to blending timeless architectural principles with a thoughtful and responsive approach.

For over three decades, Russell has been instrumental in shaping the firm’s reputation for excellence. His leadership has guided Curtis & Windham from its early days as a small practice to a recognized leader in the field. Russell is deeply invested in fostering talent within the firm, dedicating himself to mentoring emerging architects and ensuring the firm’s legacy of thoughtful, beautifully crafted designs endures.
