"The Works" is a compilation of architectural projects, each accompanied by insights from Phil Rossington, principal architect at Rossington Architecture. With over 35 years of experience in the San Francisco Bay Area, Rossington offers a unique perspective on the intricacies involved in the creation and execution of single-family home builds. The book guides readers through the entire process, from initial sketches to construction and the final unveiling of the completed homes, providing an insider's view on the practical aspects of project realization. Rather than a scholarly treatise on architecture per se, this book should be seen as more of a learning tool, offering practical insights and sharing ideas on residential design and construction, focusing heavily on the finished work. It’s a trade book that should be rifled through and dog-eared and thrown around job sites to inspire creation.
