Fallingwater House (Kaufmann House)

An icon of organic architecture, it is a work that harmonizes perfectly with the surrounding environment.

The House on the Waterfall is the Italian name by which Fallingwater, or Casa Kaufmann, is better known. named after its owner, a villa designed and built on the Bear Run stream near Mill Run in Pennsylvania by the architect Frank Lloyd Wright and considered one of the masterpieces of organic architecture.
This architecture, defined by Wright “organic architecture” promotes a harmony between mankind and nature, the creation of a new system in balance between the built environment and the natural environment through the integration of the various artificial elements (buildings, furnishings, etc.) and natural elements of the environmental surroundings of the site. All become part of a single interconnected architectural organism. Wright uses to achieve his organic architecture not only the materials of the place, such as stone, but also and above all a modern expressive technology, which despite its apparent disruptiveness integrates wonderfully with its volumes in the space of the place.
