P Home by Studio Krubka
P Home is a mixed-use office project in Bangkok, Thailand, by Studio Krubka. On a 400 sq.m. urban site, the building brings rental offices, a private office, and a residence into one compact vertical plan, using concrete, skylights, and separate circulation to keep the parts distinct while still visually linked.
About P Home
P Home by Studio Krubka brings work and domestic life into one compact Bangkok building. On a dense 400 sq.m. urban site, the project balances rental offices, a private office, and a residence without losing clarity or light.
The brief asks for ground-level parking, separate entries, office areas on the second floor and mezzanine, and living quarters above. A music rehearsal room and fitness area sit within the home, while carefully placed openings and skylights pull daylight and air deep into the plan.
The structure sets the tone. A flat-slab, wall-bearing system removes beams and gives the interior more vertical breathing room, while fair-faced reinforced concrete is cast in steel formwork for smooth, even surfaces. That choice gives the building a restrained, monolithic character and leaves the material finish exposed rather than disguised.
Separate Routes Inside
Circulation splits early between office users and residents. A red steel stair anchors the office core with a lighter note against the concrete mass, and the homeowner reaches the upper levels by private elevator. Along the office front, an open plan keeps the layout flexible, while enclosed rooms line the sides where more privacy is needed.
Light Through The Core
Skylights and openings carry natural light and ventilation into the center of the building. A skylit atrium organizes movement and gives the interior a clear vertical reference, so the sequence from ground floor to upper levels feels legible rather than compressed. The office and home remain distinct, yet balconies and overhead openings keep them in visual contact.
A Private Threshold
The residence begins behind a steel door and then passes through a semi-outdoor threshold before the main living areas. At the heart of the home, a central courtyard planted with a Crescentia alata Kunth tree works as both a ventilation shaft and a place of passage, allowing residents to cross an uncovered middle zone before reaching the elevated rooms.
Courtyard, Air, And Surface
Inside the double-height living room, east-west openings and large sliding doors support cross-ventilation and daylight. A retractable fabric canopy tempers the courtyard in strong sun, while skylights above the pantry, music room, and guest bathroom tune illumination to each use. Glass blocks and perforated ventilation bricks add texture and variation to the otherwise restrained material palette.
The result is a building that works hard within a narrow set of limits. Concrete, air, and controlled openings carry the project’s meaning, turning a tightly packed city lot into a sequence of clear, breathable rooms.
