Fallingwater

Cantilevers dramatically over rock outcropping and rushing stream, that is the conceptual design.

The Falling water was designed by American architect Frank Lloyd Wright in 1935. he said

"sends out free-floating platforms audaciously over a small waterfall and anchors them in the natural rock. Something of the prairie house is here still; and we might also detect a grudging recognition of the International Style in the interlocking geometry of the planes and the flat, textureless surface of the main shelves. But the house is thoroughly fused with its site and, inside, the rough stone walls and the flagged floors are of an elemental ruggedness" (this information from greatbuilding.com)
