Fallingwater, located in rural southwestern Pennsylvania, is an iconic house designed by the renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright in 1935. This masterpiece of modern architecture is famously built over a waterfall on Bear Run in the Laurel Highlands, seamlessly integrating the natural landscape with the built environment. Fallingwater is celebrated for its innovative use of cantilevered structures, which allow the house to extend over the water without disrupting the natural surroundings. It was commissioned by the Kaufmann family and served as their weekend retreat.
