Ben has wanted this Lego set ever since he first set eyes on it a few months back.
He loves architecture and Frank Lloyd Wright almost by default since Matt has many books about his life and his designs.
Lego Fallingwater was top on his list and when it went on sale at Amazon over the holiday, he bought it.
The instruction book is 102 pages long, there are over 800 pieces and it's for ages 16+
He worked all afternoon, a good 4 hours of solid effort.
The detail is good, the house comes apart in 4 sections to see the whole interior lay-out.
Now Dobby has a place to live. He bought Dobby with his birthday money and has spent an unusual amount of time worrying over him, trying to find a tiny sock or something to let him know he's free. I think giving him Fallingwater as his own home is a pretty decent gesture!
Thankfully, Netflix has Fallingwater as a documentary, it will be in Thursday! They also have Taliesin, which is my favorite of his houses.

Lego has a second Wright design, the Guggenheim, which Ben said was overpriced and under detailed.
He had Fallingwater down today, drawing designs to improve it...I am glad to have a child who is not content with only what's there.
Below are photos of a gingerbread Fallingwater that were recently shared with Ben.
It was made by Maggie Patrick, photos by Katy Bothwell.
AWESOME!
