Information: Fallingwater is one of America's most famous and striking architectural masterpieces. It is a National Historic Landmark, and Smithsonian listed it as "one of 28 places on Earth you must see before you die". For it's time it was a very unique home, and no other residence in the country looked anything like this. Designer: Frank Lloyd-Wright, the most famous architect in American history. This home is known to be the greatest of his designs. Style: Japanese-style modern architecture. Location: USA, in Mill Run, Pennsylvania. Cost to build: $155,000 USD. Almost $3,000,000 today.
Not saying this to sway your vote, but it is no longer just a house today, actually. It now is a national landmark and museum; no one has lived in it for about 50 years.

The function remains - it serves even less purpose as a museum than it did as a house, in my opinion. I like it in an artistic sense but it is, ultimately, still a house; the dwelling place of people where clothes are washed and meals are cooked.
As a house it's a bloody nice one but it's such a rudimentary, ordinary thing (houses in general) that I couldn't justify a SZ vote.
