Having watched a documentary recently about architecture superstar Frank Lloyd Wright, I decided to try and make use of my expensive computer setup to recreate one of his finest projects, the house he named Fallingwater. This post is going to be a series of notes to help me combine all the various details I can find about the project.
Fallingwater

They have no visible scale, so right now I am merely copying the shapes I see and hoping to get a better sense of dimensions through documentary evidence. The best so far has come from the fallingwater.org site listing the following requirement:
Visitors using wheelchairs may visit the first floor of the house. Wheelchairs must be able to fit through a 28" doorway to access the first floor.A number of videos on YouTube are going to prove useful as visual reference, if nothing else:
- Fallingwater 3D House by Frank Lloyd Wright - useful for the build-up of the floors. though the angles aren't great
- Kaufmann house drawings
- Original first floor plan
