7101 Crail Dr
Description
Known for his commitment to modernist principles and innovative design, Jacobsen’s work on the Nathan House exemplifies his unique approach to creating harmonious and functional living spaces.
The Nathan House was designed with the intention of maximizing both natural light and views of the landscape. Jacobsen’s approach emphasizes the use of materials that complement the natural setting, resulting in a harmonious balance between the built environment and the landscape. This philosophy is evident in the Nathan House, where large windows and open spaces create a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor environments.
The house is set back from the street and is private on the front while the walls of glass on the back of the house connect it with the wooded lot. The main entrance is marked by the circular stair case and bubble skylight above and steps down to the impressive living room with high-ceilings walls, wood burning fireplace and walls of glass overlooking the backyard and pool area.
On the left side of the main level, is the owners’ wing with private primary suite with fireplace and patio, small office and powder room. On the right side of the entrance is the dining room and kitchen, which was expanded with a seamless Jacobsen-designed addition in 1987.
The lower level includes a family room with bathroom for the pool and three additional bedrooms and two full bathrooms. One of the lower-level bedrooms includes an ensuite bathroom. All the bedrooms downstairs open to the outside via sliders. A sauna can be accessed off the pool deck.
Jacobsen’s architectural style was significantly shaped by his educational experiences and professional collaborations. His studies with Louis Kahn provided a foundation in the principles of monumental and introspective design. Kahn’s emphasis on the use of light, space, and materiality resonated deeply with Jacobsen, influencing his approach to creating timeless and contemplative spaces. The Nathan House’s careful consideration of light and spatial relationships reflects this influence.
Jacobsen’s professional career also benefited from his work with Philip Johnson, whose Glass House influence is evident in Jacobsen’s exploration of modernist forms and his commitment to integrating structures with their surroundings. Working with Johnson, Jacobsen gained insight into the importance of context and the role of architecture in shaping human experience, which is apparent in the Nathan House’s thoughtful placement and design.
