-THE BITCOIN BORACAY ISLAND LIFE-

Frank Lloyd Wright’s iconic Fallingwater house is under threat from 60 major water leaks.

The World Heritage-listed home sits above a waterfall in the Appalachian Mountains in North America.

Suspended over the Bear Run stream, it’s a visually striking building that looks like it has grown out of the surrounding landscape. But achieving this aesthetic effect comes at a structural cost.

Rain and melting snow have permeated the building’s walls and are now dripping into the house, threatening to damage the interior decor.

“[Wright] was pushing conventional notions of building to achieve something truly extraordinary, and he used the best technologies at his disposal,” Fallingwater executive director Justin Gunther told the Wall Street Journal.

“So I wouldn’t say anything was a mistake. Instead, the house’s design presented inherently challenging features to waterproof.”

At first glance, it looks like Fallingwater is built from solid pillars of stone masonry, but this is actually an optical illusion.
