A boutique automotive workshop rooted in Kathmandu known for its expertise in vehicle modification, detailing, wrapping, fabrication, and dent paint services. As one of the early leaders in Nepal’s premium auto-detailing industry, it serves a wide base of customers seeking premium care for their vehicles.

For their first outlet in Anandanagar, near Om Hospital, the team envisioned a space with laboratory-like environment for their high-end services.

The space includes a reception lobby with a waiting area, a merchandise display area, an office and a space.

To achieve a lab like appearance, the interiors were designed with a monochrome palette complimenting the cement-punned flooring and streamlined profile lighting on the ceiling. Blending white-washed pinewood with black metal frames and grey fabrics to create an elegant interior.

A signature intervention is the cantilevered booth seating, designed to achieve a visual “floating” effect while accommodating 10 people. Custom display pedestals showcase mechanical components reinforcing the industrial character of the workshop. The cement-finished barista counter and reception desk integrate seamlessly with the raw industrial aesthetic while maintaining cost efficiency. A moon sofa providing comfortable seating with views towards the workshop, reception, and display areas, while the rounded metal and fabric chairs add a final touch of luxury to the cafe space.
