A Room design of order 2n, where n is a positive integer, is an arrangement of 2n objects in a square of side 2n - 1, so that each of the (2n - 1)2 cells of the array is either empty or contains just two distinct objects; each of the 2n objects occurs just once in each row and in each column; and each (unordered) pair of objects occurs in just one cell.
