Oak Court Stair Tower
The Oak Court Stair Tower, designed by Buchanan Architecture, is a significant addition to a fully updated and remodeled classic Edward Durell Stone home in the heart of Dallas, Texas. The Stair Tower serves as a new connection between the pool and patio areas of the first floor south courtyard and the private second floor terrace.
Custom fabricated to precise specifications, the Stair Tower offers a dramatic architectural gesture that is both transparent and enclosed through the use of custom-punched perforated steel panels. Out of respect for the historic building, the Stair Tower is held off the building by 3”, creating a distinct separation from the old structure and the new addition for circulation.
