A view from behind Pete's house (North side). The cordwood is apparently "just veneer," the majority of the building materials used being off-cuts from exterior doors; keep reading and I'll explain.

Starbird Youth Center, a Redevelopment Agency project, has been awarded SILVER LEED® certification, established by the U.S. Green Building Council and verified by the Green Building Certification Institute (GBCI).
The 3,840 square feet center was constructed with extensive use of recycled materials. It also boasts windows designed to capture sunrays, clerstory windows that allow the hot air to escape from the building, as well as a climate-controlled system that is maintained by a large fan to draw in air in the evening to cool down the building in the summer and a radiant floor heating system to heat the building in the winter. The Center’s large windows naturally illuminate the classrooms and lounge where neighborhood youth are tutored and socialize.
The total cost of the project was approximately $3.2 million, including $2.6 million from the San Jose Redevelopment Agency and $550,000 from Park Trust Funds.

Great simple demonstration of how a roman arch works. Even with no mortar, this wall keeps the "doorway" intact. The wall is built around the form, and then the form is removed.
The 24,350-square-foot CSL was designed and will be built by citizens of Pittsburgh and Pennsylvania. The design team is led by The Design Alliance Architects.
