Fallingwater Full Walkthrough Tour in 4K // Frank Lloyd Wright Masterpiece

Throughout your text and video you repeatedly missstate the date of the design it was actually designed in 1936 and completed in 1939. I first visited when it was less than 20 years old. It was rarely used by the family at that time and you called Kaufman's secretary to get an appointment. Nice video too bad you didn't do the trouble to say where you were instead of playing that awful music. Overall wonderful though.

It is not brick it's slate

The house was designed in 1936 and built between 1936 and 1939.

If you go on a tour, ask the guide how many tens of thousands of dollars they spend each year to attempt to eradicate all the pernicious mold/mildew. Make them really uncomfortable by insisting on an answer. Also, ask the guide why the Kaufmann son couldn't unload the place fast enough when his parents died.

This building like so many other FLW creations (except for the home he built for himself and his family in Oak Park which is beautiful, very comfortable and a lovely house to raise a family) which are paeons to his monumental ego can be summed up succinctly: a great place to visit; a bitch to live in.

I've never understood the worship of Frank Lloyd Wright. He had interesting designs but was a horrible architect. All of his houses had major design problems. Roofs weren't properly supported, Everything leaks, Foundations not properly designed that led to severe structural issues and on and on. Anyone can draw an interesting concept on paper. It's turning that into a design that actually works that makes a great architect. He failed miserably at that.

Both my great grandfathers knew FLW . One was the second owner of the Walser House in the Austin district of Chicago

Legend architect.FLWright.

I will buy this house in the future (or an exact replica of it on another waterfall). This is my dream.

What a shame to have stampedes of tourists trampling this work of art that is meant to be enjoyed by a family in the middle of the woods.

Her booxxxs are amazing

Neat...a house that would probably do pretty good on AirBNB.

for some reason Ive always felt this house was a bit overdesigned and haunting

Every modern architect tries so hard to replicate this design, but they always fall short. It's always to bland and just big empty rooms with windows

Im a curious dude.. I googled waterfall house and found this gorgeous house. Amazing upload! Lovely. Im subscribing now!
Thanks bro!

Fallingwater is genius, Frank Lloyd Wright was genius, I have to get here one day! Thank you kindly and so very much for posting this for all of us to view, this is awesome!

I worked for years for one of the most prominent architects in Toronto who turned me on to Frank Lloyd Wright, shout out to Howard Cohen! Shout out to the genius too that is Ronald Soskolne!

This kind of stuff blows my mind. The man was such a visionary.

FLW would be surprised by all the lard-asses passing through Fallingwater. Amazing.

❤️

Yes wikipedia should be trusted over a bronze plaque on the site..... seems legit.

Was there today. Way out in the country.

1976 vs 1966. So you're going with Wiki over the actual plaque at the location? Seems odd.

Thanks for posting! Like your photography, narration & background music. Say, buddy, I think you're kinda fond of that pretty lady in the black dress with the yellow flowers it! 🙂 (actually designed in 1935, construction completed in '38)

Surprisingly run down looking. Still amazing.

What's more fire.... The house or the flowered dress...Good God man.....geeesh 💪👍 lol

I’ve been through this house twice. So beautiful.

I have a love/hate relationship with Fallingwater. Part of me is in awe of the intricacy of design features, the incorporating of nature, the serenity, the windows. But realistically, I see chipping, signs of water leaks on the walls, cold walls and floors because of the stone. I can't imagine living through the winter here. Like I said...love/hate.

I like this video 💕💕💕💕

I wonder how much it would cost to remake this house nowadays

Wow, very thorough video, thank you. Should be more than under 600 likes for a video with 37k views!

I am a big Frank Lloyd wright fan and I studied him extensively and I have all of his books. I have an associate in applied science degree in architectural engineering. I've toured many of Frank Lloyd Wright's buildings in River Forest and Oak Park in Illinois. But Fallingwater is one of my favorite places that I've visited. You are at peace and one with nature there. Wright was ahead of his time and was a genius.

There is no glass floor. It's solid stone with steps going down to the waterfall.

I lived in Europe most of my life, seen so many architectural beauties. But Fallingwater just did something to me. So beautiful, so suited to the surroundings, such advanced design yet looking as if it grew out of the living rock. I love it best of all the houses I've seen, though the low ceilings were certainly the result of the proportions FLW wanted, not designed for tall people! The bedrooms and bathrooms seems small by today's standards, as everyone mentions, but not for the time it was built. The low walls bordering the outdoor areas look like they wouldn't be places you'd want children near. But all of that comes together in the sculpture of the whole house. Just gorgeous!

He designed every inch with a purpose. You can see in the kitchen an even the bookcase/stairs. Every line and crack has a purpose and matches with something. He also used the sun to light the home to use less electricity.

I had to study this house and do a paper on it for my degree. This house was one of his best. What I got confused on was “if there was a waterfall running through the house under a glass floor”? Or was the glass replaced after due to the site becoming “historical” and a liability for people jumping on it.

How do we go backwards in life ?? Building like this build that far back ? We lost something

Wright's admiration for Japanese architecture was important in his inspiration for this house, and for most of his work. Just like in Japanese architecture, Wright wanted to create harmony between man and nature, and his integration of the house with the waterfall succeeded in doing so.Nov 8, 2021

Pretty cool video overall. Just needs some more ads. :/ 5?

I bet so many Architecture Student are here just to watch every details before they start to make their plate👷‍♂️

Frank was clearly ahead of his time.. until now.. this is still the basis of current modern home designs

Wikipedia is not a valid source

I wonder, if someone was even able to buy this house today, how much they could get it for. Probably cost an insane amount of money to buy all the rights to it and thats even if you could. They might not even let you buy it because of the history behind the house.

One of my favorite places as a kid.
