Home Lift in Watsons Bay, Sydney

Watsons Bay, Sydney · 2 Levels

Watsons Bay, Sydney

A harbourside home, two easy levels

Lift Shop installed a 2-level home lift in Watsons Bay, at the tip of Sydney's South Head. Frosted glass swing doors open on a cabin finished entirely in Skinplate.

The home looks across the water to the Sydney skyline, with wide openings to terraces and a harbour that fills every room with light. Living is set over two levels at the edge of the harbour. A home lift keeps those views within easy reach for everyone, from grandparents to young children.

The lift

Skinplate all around

All three cabin walls are Italian Skinplate, a fine textured steel. The vertical control panel is Skinplate too, with a white ceiling and LED lighting above.

An aluminium handrail runs along the cabin. Frosted glass swing doors let light into the hallway while keeping the cabin private.
