About Pittsburgh Living Water Villa

Flowing water villa is one of the masterpieces of modern architecture. It is located on the bank of Bear Creek in the suburb of Pittsburgh, USA, and was designed by F L Wright. The owner of the villa is a German immigrant Kaufman, who is the owner of Pittsburgh Department Store, so it is also called Kaufman Mansion.

The villa has three floors, covering an area of about 380 square meters, centering on the living room (main entrance floor) on the second floor, and the rest rooms are scattered to the left and right. The appearance of the villa emphasizes the combination of blocks, which makes the building have an obvious sense of sculpture. Two huge platforms are staggered, the first platform extends to the left and right, and the second platform is picked out forward. Several towering stone walls are staggered between the platforms, which is very imposing. Streams flow out from under the platform, and buildings naturally combine with streams, rocks and trees, as if growing underground.

The interior space of the villa is also exemplary, and the interior space is freely extended and interspersed with each other; The inner and outer spaces blend with each other and blend into one. Flowing water villa has achieved great success in the treatment of space, the combination of volume and the combination with the environment, which has made an accurate interpretation of organic architecture's theory and occupies an important position in the history of modern architecture.
