RIGHT ANGLE CHAIR
2025
¼” Sande Plywood
20”W x 20”D x 24”H (16”H seat)

Finally had a chance to build a piece that's been on the drawing board for years.
The objective was to design a functional side chair using less than 1 sheet of plywood. By juxtaposing and interlocking two right angles, a sculptural, but useful piece was created. The ¼” plywood is mitered together to form a rigid “skin”, which holds the piece upright and provides a lightweight but very strong occasional seat. When not in use, the chair can be seen as a simple, geometric sculpture.

The residence is organized on an east west axis for optimum passive solar orientation. A cantilevered roof provides yearlong shade for the entire building. A travertine wall serves as the backdrop for a grove of trees in a park like front yard setting. The primary entrance is a simple frosted glass cube.

We are absolutely THRILLED to have this extraordinary Buchanan Architecture home in this year's tour lineup.

Casa Linder is a 3,700 square foot single-family residence located in a well-established, but transitional East Dallas neighborhood. Informed by the owner’s fondness for reclaimed materials, and inspired by the historic architecture of the Texas Blackland Prairie homestead vernacular, Casa Linder embraces the architectural heritage of the earliest Dallas settlers by blending the simple forms and materials of the original prairie dwellings with contemporary planning and crisp detailing.

Explore this home and many more at the 2023 White Rock Home Tour, April 22-23 from 12-5pm.
