Fallingwater House
by: Architect Frank Lloyd Wright
"Fallingwater is Wright’s crowning achievement in organic architecture and the American Institute of Architects’ “best all-time work of American architecture.”
In Fallingwater, Wright anchored a series of reinforced concrete “trays”
to the natural rock. Cantilevered terraces of local sandstone blend
harmoniously with the rock formations, appearing to float above the
stream below. The first floor entry, living room, and dining room merge
to create one continuous space, while a hatch door in the living room
opens to a suspended stairway that descends to the stream below. Glass
walls further open the rooms to the surrounding landscape. In 1963 the
owners donated the property to the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy,
together with 1,543 acres of surrounding land. It opened its door as a
museum in 1964 and has since hosted more than five million visitors.
