Satva, a recently completed fashion studio by young design firm, Kyrra Studio
in Vadodara is as fashionable as it is practical.
Designed
in the basement of the client’s residence, Style Satva meets specific client
needs in a comprehensive and stylish milieu of colours and materials. The
design effectively tackles challenges of tight space, dampness and lack of
natural light.

Beginning
from the exterior, visitors climb down a marble-tiled metal staircase lined
with planters into the studio that emanates comfort and calm amid the harmony
of materials composed with utmost attention to detail.

An open-to-sky space, reminiscent of a French
café, surrounded by yellow walls with turquoise wooden frames provides an apt
informal setting for client discussions. The artificial lawn and marble tiles
set in pebbles underfoot constitute the perfect solution against water logging.

Once
inside, a sense of luxury amid plush surroundings takes over. A precise balance
is struck between contemporary and ethnic with the use of dual tone IPS flooring
in green, floral patterned wallpaper in the showroom and textured gray walls
offering contrast in the changing room and workspace.
A
continuous language of intricate brass detailing throughout in the form of
flooring inlays, rods for display, lamps, mirror frames, consoles and knick-knacks
that adorn the entire studio, adds elegance. Gray ceiling with wooden paneling
completes the space and incorporates focus lighting.

The
studio highlights the designer’s collection against a rich red velvet backdrop,
adding a sophisticated touch. Addressing the importance of interaction, while
shopping, the design incorporates deep-seated leather couches by the changing
room.
As
a workspace for a young mother, Style Satva is directly accessible from both,
the house above as well as the outdoor space. It is practical yet engaging; and
radiates comfort and luxury. The space exudes a beautiful balance of
traditional ideas adapted to contemporary style.
