Yup, thats Fallingwater in Pennsylvania. Its a museum now and you can take tours of it
This part never fails to amuse me.
I think his general style was really good, how his buildings could look futuristic and naturalistic at the same time, but FLW kinda didn't give a shit about structural integrity or insulation.
lmao yeah thats great. Cantilever structures are interesting to look at, but boy would I not want to be in charge of maintenance on that
This was my first thought upon processing wtf was happening in the pic. I mean, sure, that's neat. But also a nightmare.
The interior is also very cramped for such a large structure. The surrounding land is gorgeous though.
The designer was fond of liminal space. He likes narrow hallways and sudden openings to big rooms. Personally, I was surprised by how low the ceiling is in most of the rooms. From the pictures, it looks taller and more imposing than it is IRL.

I remember going as a kid and they didn't allow kids in. That's the only thing I remember about that trip. But it wasn't for us, my parents really like frank lloyd wright
Kentuck Knob is nearby, which is another FLW house you can get a tour of. Less busy, very pretty, and the owners have an obsession with cast-iron French public urinals. I'd recommend checking it out too if you are in the area.
