Falling Water
1935rural southwestern Pennsylvania, 50 miles southeast of Pittsburghorganic style built partly over a waterfallintegration with natural surroundingsfireplace hearth is composed of boulders found on the site and upon
which the house was built
one set of boulders which was left in place protrudes slightly through the living room floor
stone floors are waxed, while the hearth is left plain, giving the impression of dry rocks protruding from a stream
where glass meets stone walls, there is no metal frame; rather, the glass is caulked directly to the stone
Bedrooms are small, low ceilings, encourage people outward toward the open social areas, decks, and outdoors
active stream can be heard constantly throughout the house
