Jack Stacy House

-A A +A
1958, Jack Stacy. 1711 E. Gwinnett St.

Architect Jack Stacy built the unassuming L-shaped brick and redwood-sided house as his home and office. A sixteen-foot-high main living space combines a living room and fireplace below with a dining room on a balcony space above. Parana pine-paneled walls, terrazzo floors, Philippe Stark fixtures, and Stacy-designed lighting all celebrate the diverse creativity of midcentury modernism. Just south at 1651 Skidaway Road is a more conventional midcentury ranch house design, with an unprecedented use of stucco to represent architectural features, as well as a dramatic diagonal-pier-supported carport.
