A Boutique workshop based in Kathmandu, specializing in modifications, detailing, wraps, fabrication, dent and paint. Pitstop Nepal is a pioneer in auto detailing workshops in Nepal which caters to a large clientele of vehicle owners.

Building their first outlet at Anandanagar near Om Hospital, the team had an idea of creating a laboratory-like space for their high end services. 

The space consists of a reception lobby with a waiting area, merchandise display area, office space and a cafe space. To achieve a lab-like aesthetics we envisioned the furniture in a monochrome shade complimenting the cement punning flooring and the profile lights on the ceiling. White washed pinewood combined with black metal profiles and gray fabric perfectly blends the interiors of the space. 

Uniquely, we have achieved a cantilevered booth seating giving the high tech floating effect which can safely and comfortably cater 10 people.  Display tables housing mechanical parts and accessories creating the sense of the space. The barista counter and reception in cement finishes blending with the industrial aspect of the space in the most economical way possible.  A Moon Sofa offering various views towards the workshop, reception and display areas. The chairs in round metal and fabric have been the cherry on top offering ultimate luxury to the cafe users.
