Fairlight Luxury Home Case Study Lift Shop A Series

Effortless Movement in an Architectural Landmark

At Willyama Avenue, Fairlight, luxury has been redefined through meticulous design, world-class architecture, and uncompromising attention to detail.

Overlooking North Harbour and Manly, this residence is more than a home, it is a statement of lifestyle.

Among its many bespoke features, one stands out for the way it quietly transforms the everyday: the Lift Shop A Series Swing Door Lift.

The Property

This three-level home was designed by Watershed Architects and constructed with concrete for durability and presence.

Inside, the residence offers expansive living under soaring 3.6m ceilings, panoramic glazing to capture ocean views, and refined finishes including European oak flooring, Calacatta marble bathrooms, and a Gaggenau kitchen wrapped in Super White marble.

Outdoor living is anchored by a saltwater pool, north-facing alfresco areas, and landscaped gardens. It is a world-class home by every measure.

But with three levels of living and entertaining, easy movement between floors was essential. Accessibility, convenience, and comfort were non-negotiables. That’s where Lift Shop was engaged.

The Challenge

In high-end residential builds like this, the challenge is twofold:

  1. Practicality: Deliver effortless vertical movement for residents across three expansive levels.

  2. Design Integrity: Ensure the lift integrates seamlessly into an architect-designed home without disrupting its aesthetic flow.

The lift needed to be compact, reliable, safe, and designed to complement the property’s interiors.

The Solution: Lift Shop A Series Swing Door

The A Series is Lift Shop’s pre-engineered hydraulic residential lift, sourced from Italy and renowned for its efficiency and reliability. With swing doors and compact shaft requirements, it was the perfect match for this home.

Key Features:

  • Electric Hydraulic Drive – Proven for residential applications, offering smooth and reliable operation.

  • Swing Doors – Classic, space-efficient design tailored to the architecture.

  • Capacity – Up to 400kg / 4–6 persons, ideal for family living and entertaining.

  • Safety Built-In – In-Cabin Self Rescue, emergency communication, and battery-backed descent included as standard.

  • Custom Finishes – Doors and cabin finishes selected to complement the home’s premium material palette.

Everyday Living

The A Series lift transforms how residents use their home. Instead of relying on stairs between levels, movement is now seamless and comfortable. From accessing the wine cellar to moving effortlessly to the pool deck or retreating to the main suite, the lift ensures convenience without compromise.

It’s not a feature that demands attention. Rather, it works quietly in the background, adding comfort and accessibility to daily life.

Value Added to the Home

Including the A Series lift delivers multiple advantages:

  • Future-Proofed Living – Ensures accessibility for all ages, from young families to retirees planning long-term occupancy.

  • Lifestyle Enhancement – Adds comfort to everyday living and entertaining.

  • Resale Appeal – A premium lift installation enhances property value and widens buyer appeal.

  • Architectural Cohesion – Designed to integrate seamlessly, the lift feels like part of the home’s original vision.
