Falling waters

Falling waters, is possibly one of the most known buildings in the country. Just as Frank Lloyd Wright is probably the most well known designers in the country. Falling waters was designed in 1935 for the Kauffman family of Pittsburgh, Pa. The house sits over Bear Run, and has a series of cantilevered trays made of some Pottsville sandstone. What I really love about this building is that the floor space is evenly split between outdoors and indoors. This is especially interesting because the nature of the area is so beautiful and I really love how Wright incorporated the beauty of the nature into the building. www.paconserve.org
