Fallingwater House

Posted: Aug 02 2015

In Mill Run, Pennsylvania in the Bear Run Nature Reserve where a stream flows at 1298 feet above sea level and suddenly breaks to fall at 30 feet, Frank Lloyd Wright designed an extraordinary house known as Fallingwater that redefined the relationship between man, architecture, and nature. The house was built as a weekend home for owners Mr. Edgar Kaufmann, his wife, and their son, whom he developed a friendship with through their son who was studying at Wright's school, the Taliesin Fellowship.

The waterfall had been the family's retreat for fifteen years and when they commissioned Wright to design the house they envisioned one across from the waterfall, so that they could have it in their view. Instead, Wright integrated the design of the house with the waterfall itself, placing it right on top of it to make it a part of the Kaufmanns' lives.

Wright's admiration for Japanese architecture was important in his inspiration for this house, along with most of his work. Just like in Japanese architecture, Wright wanted to create harmony between man and nature, and his integration of the house with the waterfall was successful in doing so.

Understanding Frame Measurements

All EPØKHE frame measurement markings can be found on the inside of the left temple (side arm), you'll see a 7 digit number that looks like this:

51 [] 21 145

Lens Width [] Bridge Width Temple Length

This information describes the size of your glasses. The first two digits are the lens width. The second two digits are the bridge width and the third three digits are the temple or side length. All measurements are given in millimeters.

The table of frame measurements below can help you choose an EPØKHE style with confidence by comparing these measurement with your current eyewear.
