Each one was a tiny universe someone else had built—a perfect kitchen island, a spiral staircase that defied gravity, a parametric facade that rippled like water. The client wanted "flow," "light," and a "wow factor
He looked at his own presentation file. The living room, the layout, the core concept of the home he had just sold—it wasn't his. It was Soren Vinter's. He was a fraud, not a genius.
