Falling water's design was way ahead of its time, it's beautiful architecture and modern lines sit beautifully upon its natural surroundings. The process of building a home over a natural stream takes years of knowledge to achieve. You have to take in addition that the home has to be strong enough to last the strength of the river in its high points and through heavy rains. The home was created in 1936 and is still standing today, the home is open for tours and it always draws in the "ooohs" and "awwws" of its public.
I luckily had the chance to visit one of Frank Lloyd Wright's projects and it was his home that he named Taliesin West in Arizona, Phoenix. I made the mistake of not bringing my camera with me that day But the house was absolutely beautiful. From his own personal sculptures to his own technique of tiling was showcased all throughout his home.

This is the view of his Arizona home from the far end of his pool. The home was way past its generation of design and showcases the beautiful application of desert rock and sleek modern lines. The home itself sits almost naturally through its surroundings.
