Izumi Kitajima, Passive House Certified Consultant
Originally from Japan, Izumi came to the United States in 1996. She received her master’s degree in architecture from the University of Kansas in 2003. There, she participated in Studio 804, where students designed and built a 1200 square foot house. Through that experience, she came to believe that only houses built with a high level of design excellence, sustainability and craftsmanship can really come to life for their owners. Since joining Peabody Architects after graduation, Izumi has focused on green design, three-dimensional modeling and building detailing. In 2009 she became a Certified Passive House Consultant
