What happens in The Architect from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 13 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 3-minute read.
Spoilers ahead
Leo Waters is a successful architect who also teaches at a local university, and his professional life sits alongside a house that exudes luxury. His career has not shielded him from a strained family life: his wife Julia tends to the household, his son Martin has recently dropped out of college and shows no interest in stepping into his father’s footsteps, and his daughter Christina remains a spectral presence in the family dynamic, with moments where Leo watches her in ways that blur boundaries. The distance between Leo’s polished world and the private tensions at home forms a quiet undertone to the family’s daily rhythms.
