FALLINGWATER

Fallingwater in Pennsylvania,United States of America was designed by Frank LloydWright.Fallingwater was originally built as a holiday home for the Kaufmann family to replace their summer home, however in 1964 it became available to the public and guided tours became available,and the house attracts more than 160,000 visitors from around the world each year.Wright's desire to create an organic composition limited the colour palette at Fallingwater to only two colours; a light ochre for the concrete and cherokee red for the steel, which in my opinion compliments the building and the surrounding as it enhances the feeling of nature.The building has a quite mysterious element to it due to its stacked nature and its place within the forest and has quite a modern element due to the simplicity of the building but also the toned-down colours. I am massively inspired by Fallingwater due to the modern aspect of the building, but also because of the fact that it adds to the nature rather than taking away from it.
