FLW's Fallingwater is my all time dream home in terms of its architectural design and setting - a practical yet creative house on top of a waterfall surrounded by a beautiful forest.
A home at one with the nature.
When I began conceptualising 2611 almost four years ago, it was hacienda-like - old, cosy, warm, earthen, almost hidden by flora and fauna. The verbal Archie proposal of a modern architecture conjured up images of a cold glass house. However, after I saw a drawing of the proposal (see art piece on the righthand panel), I changed my mind - 'modern' in the sense of International Modernism.
International Modernism was adapted for Fallingwater in 1935. Seventy years later, it is still somewhat 2611 is based on - stark and ordered variety.
