Fallingwater Model Details: When Architectural Models set out to build an example of a quality model we researched museums and as many locations as possible. We were determined to find the finest models being built. We found many good models but very few great models.

     To exhibit our craftsmanship we didn’t want a simple model but the challenge of a difficult subject in a difficult setting. It had to be very recognizable and a show stopper. That’s why we chose to construct Frank Lloyd Wright’s renowned design, Fallingwater. After the selection, our objective was to build the very finest Fallingwater model ever created.

    Many have stated that Fallingwater is probably the most recognizable residential building in the world. Many architectural schools study this house in great depth. There are many books, articles, films and photos of this house but none give you the perspective and “life-look” that you see as you walk around our detailed model.


   Not only does this model have the superb detailing, as displayed in the house, but also on the grounds around the house. Just the ecological look of this model, exact placement of the trees, underbrush, shrubs, rock detailing on the bridge and rock detailing of the terrain, exquisite color in the water and the appearance of waterfall movement makes this model truly a work of art. The window detail is taken from photos and examined and reduced to our scale with no loss of definition. The trellis over the drive next to the front entrance has the exact same recessed corners as that of the original trellis. The particular selection of materials and intense craftsmanship only help to improve on our already museum quality models. The home construction shows the structural detail under the large terrace, the exact railing appearance, with open steps down to the water. The unique kitchen entrance from the driveway, the added overdrive walkway and truly different exit door, roof planters, all of these plus other unique elements of craftsmanship contribute to this educational and entertaining piece of art.

    Architectural Models has shown models including “Fallingwater” for years at many places, including several AIA conventions. Many architects have said that our Fallingwater model “looks better than the real house. . ." After you look through the model photos taken in our studio/shop you’ll see the attention to detail and accuracy that we have here at Architectural Models. We invite you to visit our studio/shop at 1716 W. Lindsey Street, Norman, Oklahoma, and see for yourself the attention to detail.

    Architectural Models has had several inquires about our Fallingwater model. “. . .are you going to make more of these exquisite models. . ." "this is the most detailed model I’ve ever seen. . ." "have you thought about an edition of this fabulously designed house. . ." "is this prototype for sale. . ." Well, we are still weighing the possibilities of a Fallingwater model edition. If we decide to construct a limited edition of Fallingwater it would be on a first come, first served basis. If you would be interested in a numbered model from this edition and would like to be placed on a contact list, click here, Fallingwater model contact list.
