American Modern Vernacular by Simon Jacobsen
Those who bought Bobby McAlpine's Poetry of Place and The Home Within Us or Gil Schafer's A Place to Call Home will respond to the warm and sophisticated work of Hugh and Simon Jacobsen, whose style of architecture and interiors might best be described as American Modern Vernacular-the place where traditional and modern meet.

"'Unmistakably Jacobsen' is a perfect description, since it captures Jacobsen's unwillingness to be defined by terms like modern or postmodern, contemporary or historical; and it conveys how one recognizes a Jacobsen house at even the briefest glance. These traits continue with the firm Hugh established with his son, Simon, in 2009, and which finds expression in a new monograph published by Rizzoli." —ARCHIDOSE.COM
