The term ‘Sthira’ in its origin indicates the state of being still. This project’s design fabric embodies the same sentiment — a series of spaces that fulfill the end-user’s aspiration of unwinding in the company of loved ones in a built volume that is held delicately in the clasps of lushness and architectural expression. Conceptualized within a stringent timeline of six months as a recreational lounge on a family residence’s terrace-level, Sthira amalgamates a mouldable programmatic outline with a curated landscape, creating an engaging milieu. Set against the backdrop of verdant paddy fields, backwaters and rugged hillocks of Kerala, this space was designed to pay homage to its awe-inspiring location enfolded by nature. A conservatory of sorts, Sthira’s envelope is composed of glass and sleek steel members that unfold the space effortlessly, allowing the homeowners to lounge and take in the seamless views of the countryside.
