Meet Jenna
Jenna Principi Ellison is a licensed architect in Massachusetts. Jenna was inspired to enter the profession by her exposure to her Families Construction, Design and Land Planning business. Growing up she was submerged in the varied architecture on the bucolic North and South Forks of Long Island.
Jenna graduated from Northeastern University with a Bachelor or Science in Architecture in 2012 and completed her Master of Architecture degree also at Northeastern in 2013.
Jenna has worked as the in-house architect for high end general contractors for the last ten years in the Boston area. She has designed fine custom homes and managed construction sites in both Massachusetts and on Long Island. Jenna frequently interacts with local building departments to obtain permits and has formed valuable relationships with these municipalities. She has developed alliances with some of the best Engineers, Landscape Architects, General Contractors, and Crafts people in New England as she works on residential renovations and additions.
She enjoys the challenge of seeing projects being brought to fruition often under tight space constraints and strict building codes. Jenna takes great pride in actively listening to her clients wants and needs and making the design process a collaborative and enjoyable experience.
ABOUT US
Architectural Solutions
Much of our work focuses on thoughtful renovations, additions, and custom homes shaped not only by strong design, but by real construction experience. Having worked closely alongside contractors through estimating, coordination, and project completion, we approach every project with an understanding of how homes are actually built — allowing us to create designs that are both beautiful and practical to execute.
Many of our projects involve reworking existing homes and integrating additions seamlessly into existing spaces. While each project is tailored to the client and may vary in style, our work consistently reflects a strong respect for context, proportion, craftsmanship, and the way families truly live in their homes. Our goal is to guide clients from idea to finished home with clarity and confidence, developing thoughtful, buildable solutions that align with budgets, schedules, and long-term goals while creating a smooth construction process from start to finish.

Jenna was also extremely helpful in coordinating with the local building department commissioner regarding permitting, as well as working with the surveyor to finalize the footprint on my plot plan. Her professionalism and communication made the entire process smooth and stress-free."
We love the final result and would highly recommend Jenna!"
