Furniture in Lagankhel — Custom Made & Delivered from Our Imadol Workshop

Lagankhel is old Patan's transport heart — the bus park, the hospital, the Mangal Bazaar road running up to Patan Durbar Square. The housing stock here is unlike anywhere else we serve: tall, narrow Newari townhouses on the courtyard lanes, many of them three or four rooms deep with a single 90 cm staircase, alongside 1980s and 1990s concrete houses on the wider Lagankhel–Satdobato stretch.

Those townhouses set real constraints. Rooms are often long and narrow — 8x14 ft is common — with low door heads under 6 ft and windows placed high in the wall. Standard furniture bought off a showroom floor frequently cannot even enter the building. Almost every Lagankhel job we take is measured on site, and a good share of it is built to knock down and assemble upstairs.

Lagankhel customers also ask for traditional detailing more than anywhere else in the Valley: carved aankhi jhyal-inspired panels on wardrobe doors, low seating for a formal receiving room, puja cabinets in Sal wood with a proper ventilated top. Our carpenters do this work by hand, and it is worth saying plainly that hand-carved panels add both time and cost — expect two to three additional weeks and a meaningful premium over a plain shutter.
