Toured the famous Frank Lloyd Wright house, Fallingwater. Finished in 1939 and now a World Heritage Site, it is built on top of a waterfall section of Bear Run stream, it is meant to be a part of the landscape. The free flowing and cantilevered structures are a sight to behold.

Angled side view of Fallingwater. This is the main view guests would have had as they arrived.

An angled side view of the house, showing the stream flowing beneath the cantilevered structures.

Living room area of the main room.

Fireplace area of the main room. The large stew pot on the left side may swing over the fireplace- used for mulled wine. Also notice the bedrock jutting out from the floor, as a decent amount of this area is natural landscape.

View of the main area of the guest house. Personally, the guest house seemed like it would have been far more comfortable to actually live in.

View of the cantilevered roof, as seen from in front of the guest house. All of this is concrete from a single pour and had 3 or 4 more of the 'steps' leading down the walkway.

Stunning design, prob my MCM dream house with the way it blends nature with touches of Japanese influence. The way the waterfall is incorporated into the house makes it look like a painting
