"Creating a landscape to complement a house designed by Frank Lloyd Wright is a challenge akin to choosing the right frame for a celebrated painting... Wright designed his buildings to be completely integral to the surrounding landscape and topography. When possible, his structures were sited to take advantage of geological features, like Fallingwater in Bear Run, Pa."
