The movie above by etereaestudios.com represents one of the best visualisations of Fallingwater we have seen.

Fallingwater, also known as the Edgar J. Kaufmann Sr. Residence, is a house designed by American architect Frank Lloyd Wright in 1935 in rural southwestern Pennsylvania, 50 miles southeast of Pittsburgh, and is part of the Pittsburgh Metro Area. The house was built partly over a waterfall in Bear Run at Rural Route 1 in the Mill Run section of Stewart Township, Fayette County, Pennsylvania, in the Laurel Highlands of the Allegheny Mountains (Wikipedia)

The movie provides an interesting contrast to the Half Life model of Fallingwater built by Kasperg. Using the Source Engine, as opposed to more traditional Architectural Software, allows the use of dynamic lighting and a real-time walkthrough of the scene in high resolution:

The movie demonstrates the quality of Half Life, and games engines in general, for visualisation using both a standard walkthrough and half way through a fly-through using the Half Life ‘Noclip‘ option. It cant uite match however the beauty of etereaestudios visualisation.

The Robie house, recently uploaded to the Google 3D Warehouse by Austin Metzger, is considered one of the most important buildings in the history of American architecture. Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright for his client Frederick C. Robie the building inspired an architectual revolution.

You can download the model for viewing either in Google Earth or Google SketchUp. Take a look at the Preservation Trust page on Frank Lloyd Wright for more info.
