The first Firewise Colorado Passive House was realized by an expert team of architect, Passive House Consultant and builder who came together for one project in 2022 to provide a ready-made solution for rebuilding homes after the Marshall Fire in Boulder County, Colorado. More detail on that first Firewise Colorado Passive House can be found here on the Harrison Architects website. No matter where you are, you can engage Harrison Architects to design a firewise house for you. In Colorado, it can be built by Joubert Homes or another local contractor. Hyperlocal Workshop and Joubert Homes continue to offer their versions of the project, and custom firewise design in general, under their own banner RESTORE Haus.
