Seamless Lift Integration: Enhancing Accessibility in a Westwood Home Extension

When this Westwood property expanded with a carefully designed new wing, the owners understood that luxury living includes thoughtful access between levels. Rather than retrofit later, they chose to embed a sleek lift into the architectural concept from the beginning—a strategic decision that blends convenience with design integrity.

The lift of choice was the refined E2 model, selected to complement the home’s neutral palette. Its powder‑coated cream doors include integrated glass panels that allow natural light to flow and echo the quiet sophistication of the surrounding interiors. The doors’ soft tones work in harmony with the home’s overall colour scheme, creating an inviting transition between old and new sections of the house.

Inside the cabin, attention to materiality elevates the travel experience. Brushed stainless steel profiles bring a contemporary edge, juxtaposed against warm polyurethane timber‑moulded panels that mirror architectural mouldings throughout the wing. The dark hardwood timber flooring inside the lift cabin ties in with adjacent spaces, creating continuity and grounding the design in both aesthetics and functionality.

This installation showcases Lift Shop’s commitment to a collaborative design approach: working alongside architects, builders, and interior designers to ensure the lift is not only integrated visually but planned flawlessly from the outset. Early coordination meant structural provisions, door swing clearances, and surface transitions were accounted for during the construction phase—minimising disruption and achieving a polished outcome.
