Jacobsen was born in Christiania (now Oslo), Norway. He was a student at the Arts and Crafts School (Kunst- og håndverksskolen), now Norwegian National Academy of Craft and Art Industry (Statens håndverks- og kunstindustriskole).[2] He served as an assistant architect with Bredo Greve and Ingvar Hjorth. He completed his education at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm from 1904 to 1907.[3]

Jacobsen was among the architects who contributed to the 1914 Jubilee Exhibition at Frogner Park in 1914, where he co-designed (with August Nielsen) the main restaurant (Folkerestauranten), Agricultural Building (Landbruksbygningen) and Forestry Building (Skogbruksbygningen).

Among Jacobsen's other works were Bytårnet in Moss, Doblouggården and Oslo hovedpostkontor. [4] [5] [6] [7][8]
