My family took a trip to Western Pennsylvania to visit Falling Waters. It is an amazing structure made of just 3 building materials - steel, glass, and concrete. It is literally built over the top of Bear Brook stream right where the stream goes over a waterfall and it is sitting on solid rock. The structure is 3 stories high and has adjacent servant quarters. this first picture looking at the main two floors from the upstream side.
This house has very little storage space and small bedrooms. The original owners wanted a place to get away to the solitude and beauty of the woods with total emersion in the environment. Almost the entire first floor is an open area with glass on 3 sides. There are balconies hanging out into space everywhere. Steps from the main living area lead directly down to the stream for bathing.
Behind this rather pleasant family portrait is a view of the house where it sits over the waterfall. If you're into architecture or construction methods...this is must see.
