SPA

Anantya Spa is a lakeside wellness extension to an existing resort in Kanyakumari, shaped as a curving brick and stone structure that follows the edge of Chittar Lake.

Skis and poles rest against a wooden fence in a snowy landscape. Sunlight filters through trees, creating a peaceful, warm glow.

Context

The project forms the spa extension to Anantya by the Lake, an existing resort set along Chittar Lake in Kanyakumari. The site already had a strong relationship with water, landscape and the surrounding plantation, so the intervention needed to feel like a continuation rather than a separate object. The brief called for private treatment rooms, calm transition spaces and areas for rest, while preserving the lake as the constant visual anchor. Privacy, natural light, ventilation and the changing experience of moving between enclosed rooms, gardens and open water became central to the design.

Response

Maativan Farmhouse - layout plan. Organic architecture by blurring boundaries
Two people lie in the snow making snow angels, one in a dark jacket, the other in red. Footprints lead to them. The scene feels joyful and playful.
