This is the Frank Lloyd Wright 'Kaufmann' House - a.k.a. the Falling Water house - rendered as a fully-explorable building using the Half Life 2 engine.
This is no mean feat! I love seeing real places rendered using game engines; the Cartwright Hall map done with Unreal Tournament is a superb example of this sort of thing.
I've had the security permissions to map the BBC's Television Centre for a while, but I haven't ever found anyone local to do it. If you're near London and a dab hand with the HL2 engine, plus you fancy mapping out the Blue Peter garden and other such luminous landmarks, drop me a line...
