Description
by David L. Prutting (Author)
Custom homebuilder David Prutting takes readers behind the scenes to offer a unique perspective on building some of the most distinguished contemporary homes in the United States.
Based in New Canaan, Connecticut, David Prutting, Prutting + Co, has built some of the finest contemporary houses in the area. This stunning publication features many of these spectacular residences, as founder David Prutting takes readers behind the scenes to offer a unique builder's perspective. Working in an area that was once a hot bed of modernism--where influential modernist architects Marcel Breuer, Phillip Johnson, and Eliot Noyes designed pioneering houses--Prutting has built many award-winning homes that have been inspired and influenced by this architectural heritage. These contemporary residences--designed by Steven Holl Architects, Toshiko Mori Architects, Joeb Moore & Partners, Olson Kundig, KieranTimberlake, plus others--showcase why Prutting + Co. has a well-earned reputation for building custom homes. It takes a courageous client, a visionary architect, and an exacting builder to bring these homes to life. But it's the builder who bridges the gap between an architect's drawings and a client's reality. In A Builder's Life Done Well, Prutting offers a down-to-earth look at how his firm navigates difficult sites and complex builds. Recounting his 50-year career, he imparts words of wisdom and advice for clients, architects, and contractors, sharing his experience of building homes and running a successful business.Author Biography
