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). 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 1904-07.
