In the leafy suburb of Eaglemont, Melbourne—renowned for its stately homes, elevated views, and architectural refinement—a discerning homeowner recently took their residence to the next level, quite literally. After visiting Lift Shop’s Melbourne showroom, they were immediately captivated by the flexibility and design elegance of the E1 swing door home elevator.
What began as a practical enquiry quickly turned into a passion project. Once the homeowner saw the range of customisable residential lifts available, they realised they could elevate not only the functionality of their home but also its visual appeal. The final result is a stunning, integrated E1 lift that blends flawlessly into the property’s existing décor—enhancing both everyday convenience and long-term property value.
This multi-storey Eaglemont residence is a showcase of timeless luxury, featuring curated finishes, layered textures, and warm lighting throughout. With living, bedroom, and entertaining areas spread across multiple levels, the need for vertical access was both a practical consideration and an opportunity to invest in the future of the home.
The client came to Lift Shop seeking a lift that would:
After an in-depth consultation and design exploration at the Lift Shop Melbourne showroom, the E1 was selected for its aesthetic options, space efficiency, and premium build quality.
While the installation site presented no major structural challenges, the homeowner’s attention to detail set a high bar for visual and material integration. Every design decision—from door finish to floor texture—needed to echo the tone of the rest of the home. This demanded a high level of customisation and design coordination, which Lift Shop’s team facilitated from start to finish.
The lift needed to serve three levels, with a total travel of 6765mm. It was essential that the elevator not appear as an afterthought, but rather as a natural extension of the home’s interior language. Thanks to the flexible configuration of the E1, this vision was realised with pinpoint accuracy.
The final lift design is a masterclass in understated elegance. With single-entry access and carefully chosen finishes, the E1 sits quietly within the home—making a strong statement without ever overpowering the space. Key configuration highlights include:
Though designed for subtlety, this lift offers full-scale functionality. The E1 model from our E Series uses high-performance electric drive technology, delivering whisper-quiet travel, smooth floor transitions, and energy-efficient operation—ideal for residential environments. The swing door configuration provides classic appeal, while still allowing for expansive customisation options to suit individual taste.
This solution perfectly balances form and function: offering convenience, style, and peace of mind without compromising floor space or layout flow. In projects like this one, where architectural integration is essential, the E1’s flexibility and premium materiality shine through.
Once installed, the E1 lift looked like it had always been part of the original build—proof of Lift Shop’s dedication to design precision. The client was thrilled not only with the lift’s sleek visual alignment but also with its everyday usability and silent performance.
“The moment I walked into the showroom, I knew this was exactly what my home needed. The range of finishes, the ability to personalise every detail, and the professionalism of the team made the whole experience enjoyable. Now that it’s in place, I can’t imagine the home without it.”
The inclusion of this customised home lift in Melbourne has transformed both the functionality and prestige of the property—an investment in lifestyle that also boosts market appeal should the home be listed in the future.
