The Architect Page #2

- Honey, we're married.

- Hello, Drew. Hello, Colin.

It's good to see you again.

Your contractor's already here.

It looks worse than last week.

- Oh, it just needs

a little TLC.

It's got good bones.

- It's great to find something

that hasn't been ruined

by a spec developer.

- It's gonna need a ton of work.

- It's cosmetic.

That's why

it's such a good deal.

This location

and the water view...

it's got endless possibilities.

You just need

a little imagination.

Oh.

- Gonna need to replace

all the windows.

But you don't need to use wood.

Vinyl is cheaper.

- Vinyl is weird.

- Well, I recommend composite.

It's not vinyl,

and it's not wood,

but it looks like wood,

and it lasts forever.

- If it's not vinyl

and it's not wood,

then what is it?

- Composite.

- Overall, what do you think?

- Oh, seems pretty sturdy...

I mean, there could be

hidden conditions.

I'd have to pull off

some of the siding.

But, uh, let's see.

- It's so peaceful and quiet.

- Country living

close to the city.

There's history here too.

This house was rented one summer

by Courtney Love.

- Okay, so, roughly, ballpark,

what's it gonna take

to clean this up?

- Top of my head, um...

$200 a square foot,

depending on finishes.

- Really?

$200 a foot, 2,500 square feet.

That's $500,000.

- You can finance

the home improvements

along with the purchase price.

- Here we go. Here we go.

- So cool.

- Congratulations

on your new home.

Oh! Oh! Wow!

- Oh, my God.

- Jesus.

- Ooh.

Whoa!

- It's all right.

It's their tree, so it's okay.

- So you just closed yesterday?

Boy, are you screwed.

I'm just kidding.

You're totally covered.

- Tear it down.

It's a no-brainer.

It'd be cheaper to build new.

- Where do we begin?

- Oh, there's an architect

named Ray Jenkins,

does a lot of work in the area.

I built a house of his down

on Fulton Road.

- Ah.

- Is this a house?

- I'm Putnam Hatch,

and I find it ironic

that I'm known less

for the Hatch Foundation

than I am for the Hatch House...

My private residence

designed by the firm

of Sullivan and Moss.

Now, the Hatch Foundation

is actually a global

philanthropic organization...

- Hello?

- Yes.

- Hi, I'm... I'm looking

for the architect Leo Sullivan.

- Why?

- I saw a house that he designed

at 299 Fulton Road.

- I designed that house.

- Are you Leo Sullivan?

- Sullivan is dead.

- Oh, um...

Who am I speaking to?

- Miles Moss.

- It's so exciting to meet you.

- Really?

- I just love the house

on Fulton Road.

- Oh, thank you.

Here it is.

We call it the Hatch House.

- Oh.

- Please.

- You're here all alone here?

- The firm is transitioning.

I apologize if I sounded
