Okay. For those of you who don't already know, I'm training to become an architect and I ran across this while I was taking a break from things I had to do today. So apparently, I stumbled across a pseudo surprise my pops was looking at for me and him. So as you all may or may not know Frank Lloyd Wright has made many amazing home throughout his career and some of them are within arms reach. I'm from Michigan so one of the closest one's is in Ann Arbor, which I have visited several times and just marveled at the roof.
But this isn't about that home. It's about Falling Water. If you don't know this house, let me explain it to you. There are these things called cantilevers and they give the optical illusion that horizontal member is unstable, when in actuality, it's just as safe as any other place in a building. So here's Falling Water:
Pretty smooth huh? And yes, that is a waterfall underneath it. Well guess what? YOU can stay here overnight now! I'm not going to lie, this stay is out of my price range at almost 1200 for double occupany, but the thought alone makes me excited. Hopefully I can have the opportunity to do so but if not, it's still cool to know that people will be able to use this amazing place for what it was built. To live, eat food, talk, read, etc. Even if it's just for a couple nights, it's so worth it. If you do have the coin for something like this, first, take me with you. Second, here's the website with the information.
