# Fallingwater House in Mill Run, Pennsylvania

Renowned American architect Frank Lloyd Wright’s one of the greatest masterpieces, Fallingwater House is now inscribed to the UNESCO World Heritage List. The house follows his philosophy of organic architecture and harmoniously combining art and nature.
