Frank Lloyd Wright designed the Zimmerman house with an eye toward uniformity. The colors are autumnal shades of brick, honey brown, and Cherokee red. The shapes are modular squares arranged in a symmetrical grid.

Notice the repeated square shapes in the dining area. The floors are four-foot square concrete panels. The square shapes are echoed in the dining table and the windows. The wall shelves, the chair cushions, and the board-and-batten wall panels are all 13 inches wide.
