Baan PO-D is conceived as a sanctuary of balanced living, where home and workplace coexist within an architectural composition. The house is formed by two L-shaped wings embracing a 10×10-meter courtyard, which becomes the heart of the project. This inner court provides privacy, promotes natural ventilation, and visually connects all functions, fostering a unified family atmosphere.
A main staircase positioned at the corner acts as a spatial hinge, dividing the ground floor into two zones: office and domestic. This separation continues on the upper floors, where the plan evolves into two private wings—one for the master suites and another for the children’s bedrooms and studio.
One wing accommodates the garage and an indoor swimming pool, while the opposite wing contains the office. The office wing is expressed with a mono-pitched metal roof, giving it a public, work-oriented character. This roof lifts to create dormer openings for ventilation and gradually transitions into a gable roof toward the rear, softening into a more residential expression.
Separate entrances for home and office allow both realms to function independently while remaining connected through the courtyard. All major rooms face inward, ensuring visual continuity while maintaining privacy. Open-air parking at the front enhances airflow, while the north office wing remains visually tied to the residence.
The indoor pool opens toward the courtyard and features a narrow horizontal window to the landscape for privacy. Skylights and aluminum louvers provide daylight, ventilation, and thermal comfort, reducing reliance on air conditioning.
Layered privacy elements—gates, greenery, and trees—shield the living room while preserving openness. Sustainability is integral, with passive ventilation, solar hybrid power, automated heat exhaust, and an edible rooftop garden contributing to a efficient, climate-responsive home. Baan PO-D embodies its name: a house that is “just right.”
