Seamless Connection: E1 Lift Enhances North Fremantle Riverside Home

Referred to Lift Shop Perth by a trusted friend, this client sought an elegant and practical solution to connect the two levels of his beautiful North Fremantle home, situated on the scenic edge of the Swan River. The home, designed with stunning views and contemporary finishes, called for a lift installation that would complement the architecture without detracting from its natural light and open feel.

Project Context: Bringing Convenience to a Riverside Residence

The homeowner’s key requirement was a compact yet spacious lift that could handle daily use while maintaining the aesthetic integrity of the residence. With the location offering spectacular water views, it was crucial the lift not obstruct or diminish the visual connection between the floors and the outdoors.

After consulting with our Perth team, the client chose the Lift Shop E1 model — a high-performance electric lift known for its sleek design, quiet operation, and flexibility in installation options. The adjacent through car configuration was ideal for this home, allowing access from two sides and integrating smoothly with the floor plan.

Design and Customisation: Blending Into the Home’s Aesthetic

  • Shaft Structure and Cladding: The shaft was powdercoated in RAL 1019 (Grey Beige) with a matte smooth finish, providing a soft, neutral tone that harmonises with the home’s exterior and interior palette. Clear glass cladding on the shaft ensures uninterrupted sightlines, maximizing natural light and preserving the open atmosphere.
  • Doors: Anodised aluminium doors, also powdercoated in RAL 1019, feature a sleek matte finish that matches the shaft perfectly, contributing to a cohesive look.
  • Cabin Walls: Constructed entirely from clear glass, the cabin offers transparency and lightness, allowing the lift to feel spacious despite its compact footprint.
  • Profiles: The cabin and shaft profiles are finished with the same powdercoated RAL 1019 to maintain design consistency throughout the lift installation.
  • Cabin Size and Travel: Measuring 980mm wide by 1150mm deep, the cabin comfortably accommodates passengers and small cargo. The travel distance of 2840mm efficiently connects the two floors without consuming excess space.

Collaboration with Cox Architecture

This project was a collaboration with Cox Architecture, known for their thoughtful and sustainable design approach. The architects worked closely with Lift Shop to ensure the lift’s design and installation met both aesthetic and functional goals without compromising the home’s connection to its stunning riverside environment.

Overcoming Challenges: Maintaining Light and Space

One of the main challenges was integrating the lift within a compact footprint while maintaining the home’s emphasis on light, openness, and views. By utilising clear glass extensively and carefully selecting powdercoat colours that blend into the surroundings, the lift installation achieves a minimal visual impact.

Additionally, the adjacent through car configuration facilitates natural flow between spaces and improves accessibility, enhancing the home’s liveability for all occupants.

Project Outcome: Enhanced Accessibility with Style

The installation of the E1 lift in this North Fremantle residence offers a seamless connection between floors without sacrificing style or space. The transparency of the glass cabin and shaft ensures that natural light floods both levels, preserving the bright, airy feel of the home.

With its quiet, smooth electric drive and premium finishes, this lift adds both convenience and luxury to everyday living. The powdercoated elements tie the lift visually to the home’s neutral tones, while the custom design elements make the lift feel like a natural extension of the architecture rather than an add-on.
