The Citizen is set parallel to the events of the original Half-Life 2. The player takes the role of an ordinary man, pushed over the edge by the oppressive regime controlling his life. His home trashed, his family dead, The Citizen leaves his apartment for the last time. He seeks new friends, and a way to help the human resistance to smash the iron grip of the Combine. What follows is a winding tale of betrayal, determination and grief. Many obstacles lie in his path which require a sleek combination of agility, stealth, intelligence, and sheer violence to overcome

nice review by the way, im downloading The Citizen now
While Edgar J. Kaufmann Sr. did own the residence the map pictured is modeled after, it is not the "Kaufmann House". It is properly referred to as Frank Lloyd Wright's "Falling Water".
"The Kaufmann House" popularly refers to an entirely different residence owned by Kaufmann Sr., designed by the entirely different architect Richard Neutra.
Otherwise good review.
Neutra's house is also known as the "Kaufmann Desert house" and "Falling Water" is also referred to as the "Kaufmann House", having been one of Mr Kaufmann's residences for almost a decade before Neutra finished the other one. But "Falling Water" is obviously the more popular name.
Was "Falling Water" Kaufmann's house? Yes. Is it "The Kaufmann House"? No. Having lived not so very far away and having visited Falling Water, I have never, ever heard of it referred to as "The Kaufmann House". Why? Because "The Kaufmann House" is the name of a different house by a different architect.
Nice map though.
I've seen it referred to as "Kaufmann house" both while studying it a few years ago and again while doing all the pertinent research needed to make the mentioned map. It might be an internet carried error from one source to another.
pk_hunter probably describes it as "the Kaufmann House" as that's the name I gave it in the map profile when I released it back then because "Fallingwater" seems somehow to be a registered term.
Hence the counter-strike version is named cs_fallingliquid :)
