"The best house is polite to her neighbors and never shouts," Jacobsen famously said, before his passing, highlighting his belief in architectural harmony with surroundings.
Trentman reflects Jacobsen's mantra by standing apart yet deferring to historic counterparts, establishing a balance between modernity and tradition in its design.

His son, Simon, notes that remnants of Philip Johnson's design can be seen in the Trentman House, showcasing Jacobsen's evolution as an architect.
