I love Lego’s Frank Lloyd Wright Collection has a mini model of the Guggenheim Museum in NYC, but I’m more in love with the model of the Fallingwater house built over a waterfall.
The real house sits 80km from Pittsburgh, and although it looks as if it belongs in the future, it was constructed around 1935. The house has always been one of those fantasy homes of mine, I suppose because it is in the woods, but also close to water. (Two of my favourite things, in theory.) A shame we can’t all live somewhere so interesting.
Here’s a video of an unofficial replica built by a fan, long before this kit was put into production.
Lego, I would only ask you offer a non mini kit, much bigger, with working waterfall. So I can put little minifigs that look like me inside. [PrairieMod via BoingBoing]

Mmm…can’t tell you whether I’m pumped or having flashbacks of childhood when father would inevitably step on the Lego while walking through the house at night (the scream would rouse the neighbors).
Makes for great opp to educate the family on America’s greatest architecture.

Does anyone know if you can buy these here? I have just got onto to Amazon and they have them but if anyone knows if they are available in Australia I would love to know.
