The Studio

An architecture practice from Dhaka, since 2016.

Sthiti Limited is a Bangladesh-based architecture studio founded by Tajbir Ahmed Khan Rupok on 16 December 2016 under the name Sthiti Sthapotto, and incorporated as Sthiti Limited in December 2025. Across ten years of practice the studio has held its founding line of authority unbroken — one principal architect, one chief engineer, one chain of judgment from brief to handover.

Origin

Founded on a civic commission.

The studio began with a single brief — the Bangladesh Police Liberation War Museum at Rajarbag. The work was delivered four days ahead of schedule and inaugurated in 2017. That founding commission set the studio’s discipline: civic intent, technical rigour, and a refusal to dilute design responsibility through outsourcing.

Sthiti grew from that commission into a multi-discipline practice working across architecture, masterplan, landscape, interior, and construction management. The studio takes the project from first site visit through handover, with senior architects involved at every stage.

Principles

What the studio holds.

Four convictions shape every project Sthiti takes on.

Site First

No project starts with a style. It starts with climate, orientation, neighbours, soil and brief.

One Authority

One principal architect, one chief engineer. No project is quietly handed to a junior to finish.

Built Lines

The drawing line and the built line are the same line. Construction management stays in-studio.

Civic Tone

Even a private residence carries civic responsibility — to its street, its neighbours and its city.
