Cantilevered architecture over a natural stream 

If you ever get a chance to take a day trip when in the Pittsburgh, PA area, be sure and take the  guided tour through Fallingwater!  There is a one hour guided tour, a longer guided tour and a self-guided tour.  

The genius of Frank Lloyd Wright is evident in this fantastic  home which was so far ahead of its time.  Even the furniture was designed by Mr. Wright.  He coined the phrase "form follows function" and he wanted to insure that every detail of ambience was addressed.  Every room has both a private bath and  terrace.  Frank Lloyd Wright used building materials native to the area and  designed the structure to blend into the countryside.

You can explore more about this controversial, flamboyant and  remarkable architect online.  The residence is now owned and operated by the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy.
