Summary:
"For forty years, Mark Ellison has worked on the most beautiful homes you've never seen, specializing in rarefied, lavish and challenging projects for the most demanding of clients. He built a staircase that the architect Santiago Calatrava called a masterpiece. He constructed the sculpted core of Skyhouse, which Interior Design named "Apartment of the Decade." His projects have included the homes of David Bowie, Robin Williams, and others whose names he cannot reveal. He is regarded by many as the best carpenter in New York. Building: A Carpenter's Notes on Life & the Art of Good Work tells stories of practice, competence, failure, absurdity, and time. Ellison takes us on a tour of lofts, penthouses, and townhomes of New York's elite before they're camera-ready. In a singular voice, he offers a window into learning to live meaningfully along the way. From staircases that would be deadly if built as designed, to algae eating snails inadvertently boiled to escargot in a penthouse pond, to the deceptive complexity of minimalist design, Building exposes the tangled wiring, scrapped blueprints, and outlandish demands that characterize life in the high-stakes world of luxury construction."-- Publisher.
