FallingWater

Fallingwater is a house museum in the Laurel Highlands of southwestern Pennsylvania, United States. Designed by the architect Frank Lloyd Wright, it is built partly over a waterfall on the Bear Run stream. The three-story residence was developed as a weekend retreat for Liliane and Edgar J. Kaufmann Sr. The house includes multiple outdoor terraces, which are cantilevered, extending outward from a chimney without support at the opposite end. Fallingwater is made of locally-quarried stone, reinforced concrete, steel, and plate glass. The house has received extensive architectural commentary over the years and has been the subject of many media works, including books, magazine articles, and films. Visitors can explore the house and its surroundings, which include the Bear Run Natural Area, Ohiopyle State Park, and Fort Necessity National Battlefield
