In fact, only a single stud is used to connect the home to the base, and no studs are used to connect the five house segments together.Fallingwater was like stepping back to my childhood, when all I had were bricks and plates and it was up to me to figure out what I could make from them. The base is emptier than I expected, with a dark stone grey large 8 x 16 brick forming the foundation of where the house will eventually be placed. The transparent tiles used for Bear Run and the waterfall that gives “Fallingwater” its name didn’t quite hit the mark for me.

It’s not only considered to be Wright’s greatest architectural achievement, but one of the greatest architectural achievements ever. It’s a unique design feature that holds tightly as the segments are put together and added to the final build. The creek (Bear Run) is made of transparent 1 x 2 tiles, with light stone grey 1 x 1 round plates added as rocks. The ground is built up with 1 x 6 earth green plates, and reddish brown 1 x 1 round plates will form the trunks of the trees.

The work of the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy is accomplished through the support of more than 10,300 members. It also includes a brief summary of both Fallingwater and architect Frank Lloyd Wright, plus the only image of Fallingwater itself, the famous “downstream” view of the waterfall and the home. The front of the box provides a view of the completed LEGO model, plus the standard details on the set’s size and target age group.
