The long, low profile of the Zimmerman house is typical of the Usonian style. In keeping with Frank Lloyd Wright's Usonian philosophy, this home has:

  • one story
  • no basement and no attic
  • open carport
  • concrete slab flooring
  • board-and-batten walls
  • built-in furniture
  • construction materials drawn from nature
  • little ornamentation
  • abundant natural views
