During [[World War II]], scarcity of building materials and [[Nuremberg Laws|Nazi racial laws against Jewish citizens]] made assignments difficult to obtain. In 1943, due to his [[Jewish]] background, Arne Jacobsen had to flee his office and go into exile to escape the Nazis' planned deportation of Jewish Danes to concentration camps. Along with other Jewish Danes and [[Rescue of the Danish Jews|with the help of the Danish resistance]], he fled Denmark, rowing a small boat across [[Øresund]] to neighboring Sweden where he would stay for the next two years. His architectural work was limited to a summer house for two doctors.<ref name="designmuseum"/> Instead he spent his time designing fabrics and wallpaper.

When the war ended in 1945, Jacobsen returned to Denmark and resumed his architectural career. The country was in urgent need of both housing and new public buildings but the primary need was for spartan buildings which could be built without delay.

After some years Jacobsen got his career back on track and with projects such as the Allehusene complex from 1952 and his [[Søholm Row Houses|Søholm terraced houses]] from 1955, he embarked on a more experimental phase. He moved into one of the Søholm houses and lived there until his death.<ref name="realea">{{cite web|url=http://www.realea.dk/upload/realea_strandvejeng_(3).pdf|title=ARNE JACOBSEN'S OWN HOUSE|publisher=Realea|access-date=20 January 2010}}</ref>

[[Rødovre Town Hall]], built from 1952 to 1956, shows how well Jacobsen combined the use of different materials: sandstone, two types of glass, painted metalwork and stainless steel. It is also noted for its central staircase, suspended from the roof on orange-red steel rods. The sides are cut from 5&nbsp;cm steel plate, painted a dark grey; the steps, only a few millimeters thick, are stainless steel with a rubber coating on the upper side for better grip.

The [[Munkegaard School]] consists of pavilions connected by glass corridors, arranged in a grid system around small courtyards. It received considerable attention in international school circles and contributed to his growing international reputation.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.arnejacobsen.gentofte.dk/munkeg%C3%A5rdsskolen.htm|title=Munkegårdsskolen|publisher=arnejacobsen.gen|access-date=16 January 2010|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110407081655/http://www.arnejacobsen.gentofte.dk/munkeg%C3%A5rdsskolen.htm|archive-date=7 April 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dac.dk/visKanonVaerk.asp?artikelID=2566|title=Munkegårdsskolen|publisher=Danish Architecture Centre|access-date=16 January 2010|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110719124058/http://www.dac.dk/visKanonVaerk.asp?artikelID=2566|archive-date=19 July 2011}}</ref>
