Here's a nice take on a traditional concept - the mountain home. It has all the detail and appearance of a one-off design but it's actually based on a standard model home.

Fallingwater... probably the most iconic home ever built. Although we've featured this home previously, it was interesting that two fans compared it with other houses we featured this week - Villa Amanzi and the Chenequa Home. Here is the incomparable Frank Lloyd Wright original in all it's glory. You'll find the full gallery, including new images, on our site at http://theownerbuildernetwork.com.au/contemporary-homes/fallingwater-2/

None-the-less, it doesn't stop me from marvelling at the technology. Tell us what YOU think after viewing all 18 images and the video at http://theownerbuildernetwork.com.au/the-safe-house/
