Porsche Restoration Center
Located just outside Zurich, this Porsche restoration and customisation facility was designed as a fusion of architecture, engineering, and craft.
Lithos was commissioned to deliver the stone elements that define the building’s identity—from the reception area to circulation spaces and exterior courtyards.

Stones Used
A Museum-Like Environment for Automotive Craft
The reception sets the tone with a carved stone counter and tall stone-clad walls that frame views toward the workshop.
Soft light washes over the stone surfaces, creating a calm contrast to the mechanical environments beyond.
Large-format stone tiles run seamlessly through customer areas, guiding movement into the consultation lounge and archive room, where clients review heritage documents and custom build specifications.
Workshops Defined by Material Discipline
Glass partitions allow uninterrupted views into the restoration bays, where classic Porsche chassis are rebuilt with surgical precision.
Stone thresholds and plinth elements subtly elevate cars under restoration, echoing museum display language while retaining workshop functionality.
A Stone-Framed Space for Quiet Arrival
The exterior courtyard uses textured stone paving and minimalist planting to create a calm entry sequence. This space acts as a transitional moment between the Swiss landscape and the controlled environment of the facility.
Precision That Matches Engineering Standards
Lithos delivered the stone elements with the same exactness expected in automotive engineering:
millimeter-accurate fabrication
seamless slab alignment
custom edge profiles
integration with concrete and steel systems
The result is a facility where material quality reinforces the brand, the craft, and the experience.
Lithos approached this project with the same precision we expect in our restorations. Their stonework elevated the building into something far more refined than a workshop. It feels like a cathedral for car enthusiasts.
