Fallingwater Project

I am beginning a new project, which I will refer to as "Fallingwater". This remodeling project is a two-storey house on a wooded property which overlooks a nearby creek. The remodeling and re-design will be inspired by the Frank Lloyd Wright house, "Fallingwater" in Pennsylvania.

Fortunately, the original owners who had this custom house built in the late 1960's were able to provide to me the original architectural plans (see below).

The first stage of work is to open up the lower level floor plan. Originally, the lower level living space consisted of four bedrooms lined up along the entire length of the creek-view side of the house. This created a tight "dormitory-like"corridor feeling to the lower level. By opening up one of the middle bedrooms (bedroom #3) to the recreation room/off-season storage, we can create a living space which can be used for an open office or exercise room. This flexible space can then be made accessible to the creek-side yard with a wide patio door.

Proposed Lower Level Sketch

In the proposed lower level sketch, the enlarged open central area can be seen. Also this affords an opportunity to create a semi-private guest suite by closing off bedroom #4 with a privacy door and allowing it to have a dedicated bathroom.

Cardington House Completed and Sold : Interior

Let's start with the front living room and entry way. Refinished hardwood floors highlight the updated look of this large room.


Walking through the living room, we enter the enlarged kitchen which opens up with lots of light to the rear sun room.




A pass-thru breakfast bar opens into the sun room.





The front bedroom also has new refinished hardwood floors.



The rear bedroom has views onto the rear of the property.



Between these two bedrooms is a new large hall closet and first floor laundry room.





This end of the house now has a newly remodeled hall bathroom.



At the end of this hallway is a french door leading up to a newly finished attic room.





From the kitchen a circular floor plan opens freely into the new family room (great room) with glass lite french doors and a decorative fireplace.









On the other end of the house is the master bedroom suite.



With newly remodeled master bathroom with separate tub and shower.











And, finally, is the office /den which is also within the master bedroom wing of the house.
