David Peabody, AIA, LEED, Passive House Certified Consultant
David has led Peabody Architects, in Alexandria, Virginia, since 1992, designing over 100 homes and additions. Witnessing and participating in the growth of sprawl in the suburban DC area through the ‘90’s led to awareness that the way building is done today is not sustainable, and a conviction that architects cannot sit on the fence on environmental issues.
Since committing the practice to sustainable design in 2000, he has become increasingly active in issues regarding architecture and the environment, and made these issues central to the way the firm approaches its work. In 2004, he became a LEED Accredited Professional, and in 2009 he became a Passive House Certified Consultant– one of the first architects in the country to achieve this certification.
