The Architect (2016) is a drama-comedy film directed by Jonathan Parker and starring a married couple, Drew (Parker Posey) and Colin (Eric McCormack), and their Architect, Miles Moss (James Frain).

After visiting a friend's renovated home with a water view, this suburban couple is inspired on how to invest in their dream home. They hire an Architect to realize this dream. It doesn't take long before the dream Architect becomes a nightmare, as his agenda goes from his professional engagement to breaking through the cracks of an unstable relationship between the couple.

Drew is a dreamy Artist, struggling to find a perfect, unhinged expression for her Artworks. Miles notices this, latches onto her struggles, and sells his dreams to her as a fulfillment of their dream home. He sells the idea of who a perfect client is to Drew and she is determined to be a perfect client. Her desire to be a mother made her marital life unfulfilling, hence, she finds comfort in being the Architect's "muse".

Colin is in the financial industry but his financial obligations in the marital space left him constantly on edge. He is suspicious of Miles and his moves. He finds the Architect's approach egotistical and made initial attempts to avoid engaging his services. A lower professional fee puts Miles on his path. Colin's idea of a dream home requires lots of storage space, mostly for his medal display, kayaking, and exercise kits.

As a couple, Drew is expressive while Colin is stiff and practical. She wants to go with the flow while he prefers to plan his moves. She wants a baby and he clearly stays busy (constantly exercising), to avoid having sex.

Miles is a junior Architect in an Architectural company known as Sullivan+Moss. Moss is the late father of Miles, while Moss' partner, Sullivan dies unexpectedly 3 months ago. In keeping the company afloat, Miles had struggled to convince his past clients of his dreams for their projects. Meeting the couple and Drew in particular, he found her susceptible and finally builds his first physical building project.
