Doi Saket district is a 30 min drive north-east of Chiang Mai City. It is predominantly a rural farming area, containing a mixture of rice fields on the valley floor and orchard and other farming on the hillsides.<\/p>\n
Hidden behind a line\u00a0of\u00a0teak trees near public ponds, the ComPeung site began as\u00a0just a piece of empty farmland without any facilities.\u00a0Now after over 10 years of\u00a0sculpting this micro community from scratch–planting all the trees, bringing in the road, water, and electricity, and building the houses–with the help of resident artists, our friends and family ComPeung has become a peaceful garden oasis.<\/p>\n
Constructed in 2006 with homemade adobe bricks mixed with dirt from the land and local coffee husk. This is our 1st lesson on how to build homes from basic local materials. We’ve been living in this house for over a decade.<\/p>\n
Built in 2006. The wall is constructed with Earthbag<\/a> technique using hundreds of recycled dog food bags filled with dirt dug from the land, rooms separated with\u00a0adobe bricks<\/a>.<\/p>\n Built in 2007, with the help of indigenous friends and high school kids. The extended 2nd floor challenged us to construct this with fish food bags filled with landfilled dirt and bamboo. The house also acts as a compass pointing to the Polar Star.<\/p>\n This is where we get together. The communal space is for the residents and our guests to use for different activities such as cooking, sharing the meals, reading, showing the works, meeting, partying, or just hanging out.The building is made of compressed concrete panels with steel poles structure. Size: 10 x 6 x 3.2 m.<\/p>\n Doi Saket Area: 671 sq km \/ Population: 71,316 (2015) \/ Density: 106 person per sq km Doi Saket district is a 30 min drive north-east of Chiang Mai City. … explore this artist(s)ComPeung and surroundings<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/compeung.org\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/compeung.org\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/compeung.org\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/compeung.org\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/compeung.org\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2"}],"version-history":[{"count":163,"href":"http:\/\/compeung.org\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6321,"href":"http:\/\/compeung.org\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2\/revisions\/6321"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/compeung.org\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
