Your home design starts here

The process of creating a home can be daunting. Wondering where to start, who to hire, creating the design, selecting the finishes and fixtures, and working through the construction details, all require communication and collaboration. With clear goals and the right team, the process should be a pleasurable experience from start to finish.

Client Testimonials

By focusing on the quality of design and client relationships, Jennifer Morgenthau Architect, LLC has earned an outstanding reputation for my professional service and attention to detail. Each project is treated as my most important. I take pride in the fact that a large portion of my custom home and interior design business comes from client referral.

"Jennifer was the design architect for our new home. It was a seamless perfect experience. After designing our office building and being misrepresented by our previous architect, we were doubtful. Jenni was HONEST, professional and fun to work with. Changes in plans were welcomed; thank goodness because designing a home for five kids was interesting. Thank you Jenni for renewing our faith in architects and for designing our beautiful home."

"We've used Jenni on a previous project and were so impressed we decided to use her architectural services for our new-home build. She was once again great to work with. She's knowledgeable, easily reachable for any questions/clarifications, and fairly priced. I would highly recommend her to others, and will use her on future projects."

"Very professional, on time, and in budget. House was perfect! Great detail, and she was happy to offer ideas and make changes to drawings all the way through the project. I would give Jen my highest recommendation and would definitely use her services again."

"Jenni is a talented architect and was a pleasure to work with. She showed great attention to detail. Her collaborative approach and patience led to a beautiful finish product that totally reflected my vision. Her insight and conceptual ideas were key to the success of the project."

Nancy Zazzaro

Residential Client, West Hartford, CT

"Brought Jennifer our ideas for a major living room, kitchen and dining room remodel and she quickly turned them into professional drawings we could give a general contractor. She also recommended a GC which worked out great for us. We would certainly use her services again."

Keith Peck

Residential Client, Columbia, CT

"From my initial contact with Jennifer through the finished design, I found her to be very easy to communicate with and timely with correspondence and the completed design project. While our project was not large, it required Jennifer to work with our vision as well as factory made components and lastly our budget. We are very pleased with our finished project and highly recommend Jennifer for other projects."

"When we planned to build our dream home in a retirement community, we had chosen three floor plans...one had the 'almost perfect' great room with a wall of windows; another with the perfect kitchen with island, laundry, wet bar, pantry and powder room, as well as a stairway to the basement; and yet another with a master suite and guest wing we loved, but it required several changes in dimensions. We also had no idea of what type of elevation would work with the look we wanted to achieve. We had researched Architects, and were very impressed with Jennifer Morgenthau's work and experience. Not only was she able to 'work her magic' as we call it...to combine the three floor plans into the perfect plan for us...but she also designed a front elevation that took our breath away! Additionally, Jenni made many design suggestions along the way to help us envision our decorating ideas. To sum it up, we feel so fortunate to have found Jenni, and highly recommend her for any project you plan to undertake."

"My husband and I met Jennifer ("Jenni") at the home show in Hartford this past winter and we immediately hit it off. Jenni took the time to explain her process to us (and had a great take-home sheet which reiterated the key points) and discuss the specifics of modifying an existing plan. We engaged her at the consultation, as we were very comfortable that we were dealing with a true professional in the architectural field who not only exhibited to us that she knows her craft, but also that she listens, thinks about things in a very practical way, works with an eye toward overall project budget and is up front about expressing her concerns or opinions if she thinks a client is straying down the impractical pathway. Jenni is a pleasure to work with and made us feel very comfortable throughout the process. Our overall experience with Jenni was very positive; we have a great house plan and she came in under the original cost estimate! We would not hesitate to recommend Jenni."

I am writing to highly recommend Jennifer Morgenthau for her exceptional work in designing the addition to my home. Jennifer (Jenni) displayed outstanding creativity, professionalism, and attention to detail throughout the entire project. From the initial consultation to the final walkthrough, Jenni took the time to understand our vision and translate it into a beautiful, functional design. She seamlessly integrated the new addition with the existing structure, ensuring a harmonious and aesthetically pleasing outcome. Her communication skills, ability to address challenges, and dedication to delivering high-quality work were truly impressive. Thanks to Jenni’s expertise, the addition has exceeded my expectations and greatly enhanced the comfort and value of my home. I wholeheartedly recommend Jennifer to anyone seeking an architect who is talented, reliable, and a pleasure to work with.

My wife and I give our highest recommendation to Jennifer Morgenthau for the design she completed. We enlisted Jennifer to design a new addition for a lakeside house. She listened to our needs, worked with the town, developed a few optional plans and ultimately created an architectural design with supporting materials that were a perfect fit for the site and location. Her plans and vision gave us the feeling of excitement we needed to start and finish the project. She was wonderful to work with and her plans made all the difference.

Jenni is an amazing architect. She designed an in-law suite for me and guided me through the entire process. She suggested features that I never would have thought of. She worked closely with my builder on plan modifications and in the end I could not be any happier. She is very talented, personable, and simply fantastic to work with. I highly recommend her services.

I literally stumbled on to Jenni's site and was impressed after a call...discussing my time element with blueprints for my new home. After personally meeting and showing her my drawings, she was able to execute the plans (with a few alterations) in expedient time. I am Very Happy with her work and Highly recommend her services.
