Fallingwater’s monumental 1,800 square foot living measures roughly 40 by 50 feet and a central, symmetrical raised cove ceiling.
Fallingwater, occasionally referred to as the Edgar J. Kaufmann Sr. Residence or just the Kaufmann Residence, positioned within a five,one hundred-acre nature reserve 50 miles southeast of Pittsburgh, was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and built in between 1936 and 1939. Built over a 30-foot flowing waterfall on Bear Run in the Mill Run section of Stewart Township, Fayette County, Pennsylvania, the residence served as a trip retreat for the Kaufmann family including patriarch, Edgar Kaufmann Sr., was a effective Pittsburgh businessman and president of Kaufmann’s Division Shop, and his son, Edgar Kaufmann, Jr., who studied architecture briefly below Wright. Wright collaborated with employees engineers Mendel Glickman and William Wesley Peters on the structural style, and assigned his apprentice, Robert Mosher, as his permanent on-website representative all through building. Despite frequent conflicts between Wright, Kaufmann, and the construction contractor, the house and guesthouse had been ultimately constructed at a cost of five,000.
The 23¾" x 18¼" x 60" wood coffee table was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. The smaller tabonettes, a side table or occasional table, also made by Wright, came in three sizes and all bearing a resemblance to their bigger coffee table counterpart. The name, tabonette, came about from a mistaken transcription by one of Wright’s apprentices who might misspelled the word taboret. The Zabuton, 25½" x 29¾" floor cushions, had been created by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1939. The Higher Hassocks, also designed by Wright, are taller versions of the Zabuton at 12" x 26" x 21¾". They represent 1 of the earliest makes use of of latex foam, a material suggested by Edgar Jaufmann Jr., in a residential setting. Surrounded by a walnut veneer frame, the floor cushions are upholsted with either a red or yellow, heavily textured, wool blend Jack Lenor Larsen fabric known as Doria. The cost-free floating seats of differing heights support produce a casual environment.
Fallingwater was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1966. It was listed amongst the Smithsonian’s 28 Areas to See Ahead of You Die. In a 1991 poll of members of the American Institute of Architects (AIA), it was voted "the greatest all-time work of American architecture." In 2007, Fallingwater was ranked #29 on the AIA 150 America’s Preferred Architecture list.

The wood and lacquer red cubical sculpture that sits on the coffee table was designed by artist Paul Mayén in the 1950s. The 23¾" x 18¼" x 60" wood coffee table was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.

Surrounded by a walnut veneer frame, the floor cushions are upholsted with either a red or yellow, heavily textured, wool blend Jack Lenor Larsen fabric named Doria. The totally free floating seats of differing heights help generate a casual atmosphere.
Fallingwater, at times referred to as the Edgar J. Kaufmann Sr. Residence or just the Kaufmann Residence, situated within a five,100-acre nature reserve 50 miles southeast of Pittsburgh, was made by Frank Lloyd Wright and built in between 1936 and 1939. Built over a 30-foot flowing waterfall on Bear Run in the Mill Run section of Stewart Township, Fayette County, Pennsylvania, the home served as a vacation retreat for the Kaufmann family members such as patriarch, Edgar Kaufmann Sr., was a productive Pittsburgh businessman and president of Kaufmann’s Division Store, and his son, Edgar Kaufmann, Jr., who studied architecture briefly below Wright. Wright collaborated with staff engineers Mendel Glickman and William Wesley Peters on the structural design, and assigned his apprentice, Robert Mosher, as his permanent on-website representative throughout construction. Despite frequent conflicts in between Wright, Kaufmann, and the construction contractor, the house and guesthouse had been ultimately constructed at a price of 5,000.
Wright specified Johnson Liquid Wax for the flagstone floors all through the home. The waxed sheen drew a parallel to the wet bedrock of the stream below. Whilst building Fallingwater, Wright was commissioned to design the Johnson Wax Creating in Racine, Wisconsin.
Fallingwater was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1966. It was listed amongst the Smithsonian’s 28 Places to See Prior to You Die. In a 1991 poll of members of the American Institute of Architects (AIA), it was voted "the very best all-time function of American architecture." In 2007, Fallingwater was ranked #29 on the AIA 150 America’s Favored Architecture list.

Wright collaborated with employees engineers Mendel Glickman and William Wesley Peters on the structural style, and assigned his apprentice, Robert Mosher, as his permanent on-website representative throughout building. Regardless of frequent conflicts amongst Wright, Kaufmann, and the construction contractor, the house and guesthouse had been finally constructed at a price of five,000.
