Skyway Summit: A Marshall Fire Rebuild Rooted in Sustainable Design

When a family loses their home in a disaster like the Marshall Fire, rebuilding is rarely just about square footage and finishes. It's about trust, and about working with a team that can manage every piece of a complicated process while still delivering a home that feels like a fresh start. That was the foundation of Skyway Summit, a custom residence Sopris Homes built in Boulder for clients recovering from the fire.

The finished home spans 7,732 square feet with four bedrooms and five bathrooms, including dual primary suites on the upper level, a layout choice that gave the family flexibility they specifically wanted after losing their previous home. Interior design was led by Alyssa Foster, who shaped a home defined by soaring volume ceilings and a dramatic interior fireplace stack that serves as a visual anchor from the entry through the main living spaces.

Sustainability was a core design priority from the start. The home runs on geothermal heating and cooling paired with an oversized roof-mounted solar system, and it has earned EnergyStar NextGen certification, one of the more rigorous efficiency standards available for new residential construction. For clients rebuilding after a wildfire, that combination of resilience and efficiency carried real weight.

Sopris Homes managed the project from initial design through final construction, and also took on the rebate process on the clients' behalf. That meant coordinating with multiple government and private entities to help the family recover substantial rebate funds tied to their rebuild, work that ran alongside the construction itself rather than as an afterthought.

Skyway Summit reflects what a full-service rebuild can look like when the goal isn't just to replace what was lost, but to build something more resilient in its place.
