Architecture, Design & Photography

David Duncan Morris is the Director of Design at an award-winning architecture firm in Portland, Maine. Starting from a young age David’s love for houses is what inspired him to pursue architecture and he was often seen drawing whenever he could. Outside his professional life, he picks up his paper, pencils and watercolors to feed his own creative drive and to keep his love of drawing alive. The intent of his drawings is not to perfectly render a building but to capture the spirit of the building in a loose and expressive manner. He prefers to draw on site, but if distance and weather prevents this he can draw from photographs. David lives with his partner Justin, and their dog in the beautiful coastal town of Cape Elizabeth, Maine.

In this episode of Architecture, Design & Photography we sit down with Will Winkelman, Founding Principal of Winkelman Architecture. 

Will has been a registered architect in Maine since 1989. A member of the AIA, he has been practicing architecture for more than 35 years, most of that time focused on his core passion, residential work. 

Born and raised in Memphis, Tennessee, Will graduated from the University of Houston with a Bachelors degree in Architecture in 1982. From there he moved to San Francisco before discovering Peaks Island, off the coast of Portland, in the mid 1980’s. It has been his home ever since.

 Will spent two decades working in Portland offices during which time he found that working with residential clients offered the connection essential for him to feel deeply engaged. In the spring of 2007 Will established Winkelman Architecture to further that pursuit. A founding ideal of the practice was to keep it small, limiting the staff count to 10 or less, with the goal of keeping his hand collaboratively engaged in the design conversation and details of the office’s flow of projects.
