Tara & Rob Cahill have been working in the rain forests near Coban, Guatemala for decades. They have built a beautiful infrastructure that includes a cordwood school for middle and high school students. Here is a brief walkthrough video by the architect Charles Olfert. It is quite impressive. Cordwood Cloud Forest Video
The Large Quetzal was recently finished and it is 95′ long (the largest cordwood building in the world) and has classrooms, a commercial kitchen, a library and dorm rooms for nearly a hundred students.
The Small Quetzal is 75 foot long and 40 foot tall on the big end. It houses 50+ student for classes, but it also is used for cooking jams, jellies, salsas and local products for distribution on the international market.
