The experience

We are Alejandro and Carolina, civil engineers with more than 10 years of experience in bio-construction and permaculture. Our home is a small country house on an 8-acre family farm in the Marinilla Mountains, 1:30 hours from Medellin, Azul, our 5-year-old son, and two crazy dogs are helping us work on a bio-construction project that is an addition to our house made primarily of wood, bamboo, and cob.
