For homeowners who have nurtured their property over the years, thoughtful upgrades are more than just improvements — they represent an ongoing commitment to comfort, style, and functionality. This cherished residence, located in a well-established neighbourhood, had already undergone various modifications to meet changing family needs. However, as the family evolved, so too did their requirements, particularly for enhanced accessibility and convenience across the home’s multiple levels. The solution? A bespoke 350kg ElfoLift, expertly integrated to complement the existing architectural style, while delivering modern functionality and effortless vertical mobility.
The homeowners wanted a residential lift elevator that would not only provide safe and reliable access to upper floors but also respect the home’s established aesthetic. This was a key consideration in a property where character and charm had been carefully preserved. Situated in a classic suburban setting, the house features traditional design elements and a carefully curated interior style. The challenge was to incorporate a modern electric lift that enhanced mobility without detracting from the home’s visual appeal.
Integrating a residential lift into an existing home always comes with technical and architectural challenges. In this case, space constraints required a compact yet spacious lift cabin that could comfortably accommodate users and luggage, while not overwhelming the interior. The lift had to be positioned thoughtfully to connect levels efficiently without compromising living areas. Additionally, the installation needed to meet strict Australian safety standards and regulations.
Another consideration was ensuring the lift’s finishes and materials harmonised with the home’s décor — a task that demanded careful material selection and customisation. Achieving a seamless look where the lift felt like a natural extension of the house, rather than an intrusive afterthought, was essential.
After consultation with the team at Lift Shop, the homeowners chose the ElfoLift with a 350kg load capacity, designed to blend sleek functionality with a premium finish. This electric lift is renowned for its smooth operation, quiet motor, and compact design — ideal for residential settings.
The cabin’s interior was meticulously customised using Italian Grigio PPS1 gloss skinplate for the walls and ceiling, which offers a refined and contemporary aesthetic. Complemented by highly polished stainless steel trims and a matching handrail, the materials deliver both durability and a sense of understated luxury. The flush-mounted car operating panel maintains a clean, uncluttered cabin interior, while the matching machine cabinet finish ties the entire system together with visual cohesion.
To enhance the lift’s openness and ensure users feel connected to their surroundings, the flooring was sourced as a single piece of manufactured stone, precision-fitted on site to create a seamless and elegant surface. The 850mm wide aluminium landing doors feature blue-tinted panoramic glass panels that flood the cabin with natural light and allow visibility, further blending the lift into the home’s environment.
Underneath its sophisticated appearance, the ElfoLift incorporates the trusted GMV hydraulic system, which is known for reliability and smooth performance. Its two-speed operation provides a comfortable travel speed of 0.3 meters per second, balancing efficiency with user comfort.
Safety is paramount in any residential lift installation. This ElfoLift features full-height infrared safety curtains to prevent accidents, soft nylon sliders and rollers for smooth, quiet operation, and emergency lowering capabilities in case of power failure. Dual safety circuits and a separate battery backup system ensure continued operation and peace of mind during emergencies, meeting and exceeding Australian safety standards.
Since installation, the lift has transformed the way the family moves throughout their home, offering effortless access to all levels. This future-proofing upgrade not only increases the home’s accessibility but also adds considerable value by combining practicality with high-end design.
Thanks to the precision fit and tailored finishes, the lift is viewed by the homeowners as an integral part of the home — a seamless enhancement rather than a standalone feature. The natural light and open design make each ride an enjoyable experience, proving that residential lifts can be both functional and beautiful.
One satisfied homeowner shared: “The ElfoLift from Lift Shop is truly a game changer. It blends perfectly with our home’s style and makes moving between floors effortless. We love the attention to detail — the materials and finishes feel so premium, it’s like a little luxury every time we use it.”
