Peabody Architects

In 40 years of building and remodeling, we have worked with numerous architects and designers. Architect David Peabody stands out as one the best. He has all the qualities that clients and builders look for. He is creative and precise. He is ethical and fair. He is a good listener and his plans reflect every clients desire to create value without wasting money. And I believe his concentration on “green building”, especially his expertise in the “passive house” movement, was and is way ahead of the curve. We have been fortunate to partner with David on several passive houses and are thrilled to be part of this cutting edge building science. We are most happy to recommend David and his team.

Did a great job advising me on energy efficiency, provided very helpful contacts and recommendations, super friendly, and very thoughtful.

We hired Peabody Architects to design an addition/remodel of our Alexandria, VA home. We liked the work so much that when we built a second home at Lake Anna, VA we asked David to design it. The design and build process was collaborative from start to finish. The team listened well to what we hoped to accomplish in both projects and the results exceeded our expectations. The pricing was competitive and the estimates of time and cost were accurate. We recommend Peabody Architects without reservation for the beauty of the designs, the ease in the construction process (the builder raved about how detailed the plans were to work with and how that made his job so much easier), and the quality of the results.

David and I collaborated on an extensive, long term residential renovations,additions and new construction project in the Shenandoah Valley. Firstly I think David's aesthetic for architecture and design is superlative. His ability to listen to the client and respond by producing results reflective of their interests is outstanding, and his professional demeanor is accompanied by a demonstrable passion for architecture from historic to contemporary, as well as concern and care of the client. My interactions with David were a great pleasure by virtue of his professionalism and the respect he afforded my contributions to the project. Subsequent to that project Peabody Architects became a ground breaker in sustainable housing, injecting their design with more than simply "green" materials by employing intellect and comprehensive knowledge of the technologies starting with the bare dirt and up.
