In the prestigious riverside suburb of Bulimba, Brisbane, a newly built three-level home has achieved the perfect blend of form and function — and Lift Shop was proud to deliver the finishing touch. Designed to enhance both aesthetic appeal and everyday convenience, this luxury residence now features a customised 350kg ElfoLift 2, elevating the home in every sense. From its sleek appearance to its thoughtful engineering, this lift installation exemplifies the quality and bespoke design that discerning homeowners demand.
The homeowners of this modern Bulimba property were clear on their vision: they wanted a residential lift that would not only provide practical vertical transport across their three levels but also blend seamlessly with the sophisticated interior design. The residence is characterised by clean, architectural lines and a refined palette of materials, and any lift solution needed to reflect this elevated standard.
After exploring several options, the choice settled on the ElfoLift 2 — a model renowned for its compact yet spacious cabin, quiet electric drive, and premium finishes. This lift combines robust performance with elegance, making it a natural fit for luxury domestic settings where space and style must coexist.
Integrating a lift into a high-end home with bespoke design elements brings unique challenges. The main considerations in this project included:
Addressing these challenges required close collaboration between Lift Shop, the homeowners, and their design team, ensuring the final product met both functional and aesthetic criteria.
The ElfoLift 2 installed in this Bulimba home boasts a capacity of 350kg and a generously sized cabin measuring 1100mm wide by 1200mm deep. This size allows comfortable use by family members of all ages and abilities, while maintaining a compact footprint.
One of the standout design elements is the use of two-piece brushed stainless steel doors at each landing and on the cabin itself. This finish provides a consistent, refined appearance throughout the vertical journey and complements the home’s modern industrial-chic aesthetic.
Enhancing the cabin’s interior, the walls were crafted using galvanised panels locally finished with a rich timber veneer. This choice adds warmth and texture, softening the sleek stainless steel while creating a tactile connection with the home’s natural materials. To further expand the cabin visually, a full-height mirror was installed on one wall, enhancing light reflection and the perception of space.
Careful attention was paid to the corner profiles and car operating panel (COP), which were matched in brushed stainless steel to maintain visual continuity and a strong, modern edge. The operating panel is ergonomically designed for ease of use, featuring intuitive controls and high-contrast buttons to enhance accessibility.
Another bespoke highlight is the floor, where the owners selected a deep, dark stone tile that anchors the cabin space with depth and contrast. This flooring choice ties seamlessly into the home’s interior design, grounding the lift visually and adding an element of luxury and permanence.
The ElfoLift 2 utilises a quiet, energy-efficient electric drive system, which aligns with the homeowners’ sustainable living goals. The lift’s smooth start and stop functions ensure comfortable travel without jolts, while its low power consumption supports a greener household.
With a travel height covering all three floors of the home, the lift provides reliable, fast access to each level. Safety features include emergency stop buttons, an exclusive flush-mounted telephone for communication, and sensor-based door systems to prevent accidental closure.
This bespoke lift installation has transformed how the homeowners experience their multi-level residence. Beyond enhancing daily convenience, the lift contributes to the property’s luxury feel, embodying a seamless marriage of functionality and design. The carefully chosen materials and custom finishes have ensured that the lift is not just a utility but a statement feature—an investment that adds lasting value and enjoyment.
From family members who benefit from improved mobility to guests impressed by the refined aesthetics, the ElfoLift 2 stands as a shining example of how residential lifts can elevate a home’s lifestyle and design standards.
The successful outcome was a direct result of the collaborative approach Lift Shop champions. By engaging closely with the homeowners and their design professionals, we ensured every detail—from the choice of materials to the cabin layout—was carefully considered and executed to perfection.
