both proposals.

Guess who's cheaper.

Miles Moss.

- Here's my studio.

- Aha.

- Oh, don't look too closely.

It's just a hobby I do for fun.

- What we do for fun

is what really matters.

Art only has meaning

if the process comes

from an inner compulsion.

- I wouldn't call it art.

- This is my process...

getting to know you and Colin.

You're a creative person.

You understand the dialogue

between client and architect

is an intimate one.

When you talk about building,

you're talking about...

dreams.

You must never let yourself

be overwhelmed

by a rational analysis.

When we're talking

about a house, a room, a space,

it's not something

that you think.

It's something that you feel.

- My... my main concern

is separation.

I need my own space.

- Of course.

There must be a place

for solitude.

A couple can't be together

if they have no place

to be alone.

- Colin's uncomfortable alone.

So the TV stays on

to keep him company.

- Many people avoid solitude.

It's...

Frightening to be alone

with your thoughts.

You may find there are none.

Do you intend to have children?

- We're trying, yeah.

Our... our genes may not match.

- Well, it's an important

consideration.

The couple needs

to have privacy,

so their children can have

a place of their own

so they don't drive

everyone crazy.

- Oh, that's beautiful,

isn't it?

- The nautilus shell...

A symbol that goes back

to the ancient Hindus.

- The golden ratio.

- Exactly.

Plato called it

the key to the cosmos.

From the structure

of the human skeleton

to the pattern

on sunflowers seeds,

the ratio is there...

Seemingly a geometrical pattern

for life itself.

- Look, the golden ratio.

It's everywhere.

- Ah.

- Accumulated benefits.

Right,

during the absorption period,

the debt is divided

into a series

of staggered maturities.

Right.

No problem.

Look, if Drew answers

questions differently than me,

it doesn't mean we disagree.

- What does it mean?

- It means we haven't had

a chance to talk about it yet.

Sometimes she doesn't think

a thing through logically.

The point is,

we know what we want.

- Of course.

You could design it yourself.

You just need someone

to draw up the plans.

- No, I...

- It's like someone

who has no knowledge of fashion

but wanted to design a suit

It would be an amorphous sack.

- All I'm saying is,

we want to make sure

we get what we want.

- Well, that's why

we're here, Colon.

I'm trying to determine

what you want.

- It's "Colin."

Colon is the large intestine.

- Forgive my accent.

- One thing I want for sure

is plenty of storage space.

- Now, is that the first thing

that comes to mind?

- It's an important feature
