Casa Linder is a 3,700 square foot single-family residence located in a well-established, but transitional East Dallas neighborhood.

As an urban retreat for an artist and car enthusiast who reside next door, much care was taken to quietly insert this new house into the neighborhood, yet express the unique identities of the owners. As such, the client’s affinity for the color blue was incorporated into several of the dominating elements within the garden and the house.
