Jacob Elisii
Jacob joined the PDP team in August 2021 as an intern and is working toward completing his architectural registration. He attended Drexel University’s Westphal College of Media Art & Design and graduated from their two plus four program in 2020 with a bachelor’s degree in architecture. In the summer of 2018, he participated in a two-week study tour in Berlin, Dessau, and Hamburg.
Since joining PDP, Jake has been a key member of the Kentucky State Capitol Renovation project and is also helping to complete our work for the New Jersey Executive State House. Jacob has worked at a few architectural firms around the City of Philadelphia and has experience in various work types. His previous experience included an exciting renovation of a historic church, school, and rectory into luxury apartments and a digital scholarship lab for Swarthmore’s McCabe Library. Jake is genuinely interested in the relationship between architecture, preservation, and urbanism. Having grown up just outside the City, he chose to attend university in Philadelphia, a World Heritage City, due to his love of the urban and metropolitan. Jake believes in creating and preserving architecture that contributes to the rich and varied urban fabric. Jake is also an excellent photographer who enjoys cooking and cycling when he is not working.
