Q&A WITH HUGH NEWELL JACOBSEN Architect Hugh Newell Jacobsen needs no introduction. He is world-renowned for a striking style of architecture that has earned him 137 awards, and is perhaps best known for his modern pavilion-based designs. He has worked on grand projects such as the U.S. embassies in Paris and Moscow and the library for American University in Cairo, but he especially enjoys designing houses and has been commissioned by famous clients such as Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and Meryl Streep. “I work for the most delightful people,” he says. Jacobsen lectures extensively throughout the world. His writing is regularly published in publications such as Architectural Digest and his work has been showcased in three monographs. “ To h a v e o n e b o o k i s s u c h a n h o n o r, ” h e s a y s . “ To h a v e t h r e e i s r i d i c u l o u s . ” Ye t a n o t h e r i s i n t h e w o r k s . Jacobsen is considered among the best architects of our time. T h a t y o u l i k e l y k n o w a l r e a d y. B u t w h a t y o u m i g h t n o t k n o w a b o u t t h e Wa s h i n g t o n , D.C.-based architect is that he has a w i c k e d s e n s e o f h u m o r. H e e n j o y s t e l l i n g stories – interesting, marvelous stories a b o u t , s a y, g a l l i v a n t i n g a r o u n d F r a n c e with a client. He frequently quotes people who have influenced him – architect Louis Kahn, for example – and occasionally even repeats sassy lines from a movie, if it suits his purpose. Jacobsen has practiced architecture under his own name since 1958, and although he l i k e s t o s a y h e ’s j u s t d o i n g “ t h e s a m e s t u f f ” h e ’s d o n e h i s e n t i r e c a r e e r, i t ’s e v i d e n t t h a t his signature style has developed over time. Drawing inspiration from vernacular architecture, Jacobsen designs houses that are classically proportioned and yet distinctly modern. “ Yo u l e a r n b y d o i n g i n a l m o s t e v e r y profession,” he says. “I did a house in 1966 and it won lots of awards but the roof leaked l i k e a s i e v e . Yo u l e a r n e v e r y d a y. I t ’s a l w a y s a n a d v e n t u r e . I t ’s a m a r v e l o u s c h a l l e n g e . ” Ask him what project he has most enjoyed and he will say: “The one I’m working on r i g h t n o w … i t ’s a l w a y s t h e o n e I ’ m w o r k i n g o n r i g h t n o w. ” A n d r i g h t n o w, J a c o b s e n i s w o r k i n g o n a h o u s e i n W i n d s o r.

Q: What are you most known for and where can we see your work? A: My houses. Currently we are working on houses in eight states and three foreign countries. I’ve b u i l t , I t h i n k , s o m e v e r y g o o d h o u s e s . I have built other projects in 28 states and seven foreign countries.
