Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater

January 2005 •English

In 1935, Frank Lloyd Wright designed a country house for the Kaufmann family over a small stream in Western Pennsylvania. He named it Fallingwater.

And today, the iconic image of the house over the waterfall, remains a testament to a great architect working at the height of his career.
