Jack's House is an addition to a 200-year-old farmhouse located in the West Village. This wandering nomad wood frame house has been the home of Margaret Wise Brown, author of the book "Goodnight Moon", but is now the home of seven-year-old Jack who was in desperate need of his own room.
Jack's House is designed to echo its existing quirkiness; the addition acts as a sister to the existing house. The second floor's "potato chip" inward-sloped roof and angled walls create an animated relationship with the "settled" farmhouse. On the first floor, a curved loggia with oversized double hung windows creates a new entry and kitchen. Jack's House received the annual Village Award from the Greenwich Village Historical Society.

Read about it in This Old House Magazine (1.7mb PDF).
