We recently took a quick trip to southwestern Pennsylvania to visit a wondrous place we've always wanted to see.
It's Frank Lloyd Wright's masterwork, Fallingwater, a residence built into the side of a cliff and over a waterfall. It was created for the Kauffman family who once owned a renowned chain of department stores.
You may have seen photos of this place (like the ones we took, above) but they simply do not capture the sheer awesomeness of Fallingwater. It is nothing less than a work of genius!
The Kauffmans lived here for many years but now it is open to the public and is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Take note of how the architect brought the outdoors inside, creating an inspiring harmony with nature. And look at all the repeated linear patterns throughout. On top of everything else, this is a miraculous feat of engineering.
You owe it to yourself to put this place on your bucket list. You won't be disappointed!
