Rebates and Resilience: Lessons from a Marshall Fire Rebuild⁠

This 1,700‑sq‑ft post-Marshall Fire rebuild was designed to solve multiple challenges: wildfire risk, guest suite, aging-in-place, and a steep hillside site.⁠
⁠
A cantilevered pavilion turns a tricky slope into a design feature while framing sweeping Foothills and Flatirons views. Inside, vaulted ceilings, exposed wood beams, and a bifold door maximize daylight and indoor-outdoor connection, all without sacrificing performance or budget. And while not Passive House certified, the design prioritizes a high-performance envelope, including fire-resilient walls using autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC).⁠
⁠
Come hear how fire-wise strategies drove the design, and how utility rebates made it possible. Discover how landscape and material choices serve as a buffer for the home and its neighbors. See how ENERGY STAR NextGen requirements integrate with site-driven solutions, making post-fire rebuilding more resilient—in architecture, landscape, and budget.⁠
