Building Tradition Episode 14: Interview with Architect Mac White

Mac is a recipient of TRADITIONAL BUILDING'S Raphael Awards 2023 which celebrate the "art of the architect." His winning entry is a hand-drawn mountain house. About the beauty and importance of hand drawing and watercolor rendering Mac tells us, "architecture is about creating beautiful places. To see, interpret and draw something beautiful is a good way to communicate the romance of a project to the client."

Mac didn't study to be a classicist but learned the language along the way while living in France and Mexico. "We study the world's great architects and artists of the past to learn precedent. We think of our work as the continuum of classical design, informed by those who came before us."

Mac tips his hat to his collaborators: the craftspeople, building artisans, interior designers and clients who make his projects possible. Listen in as we talk to an award-winning architect whose humility is disarming.
