Modern Masterpiece: E1 Lift Complements Bay Views in Brighton

Set against the spectacular backdrop of Port Phillip Bay in Melbourne’s sought-after Brighton, this contemporary residence makes a bold architectural statement. Designed with a focus on simplicity, clean lines, and everyday functionality, the home’s visual clarity is mirrored in every detail — right down to the inclusion of a custom-fitted E1 home lift.

Installed to ensure long-term convenience and seamless accessibility between floors, the two-stop E1 model was tailored to fit the space perfectly. With a compact cabin size of 940mm wide x 1150mm deep, a 300kg load capacity, and a maximum speed of 0.3m/s, it offers the ideal balance of performance and footprint — a smart addition for homes that require luxury without compromise.

True to the minimalist aesthetic of the home, the lift was completed in a sleek palette of finishes. The cabin’s standout feature is a full wall of Arpa 0509 VG Luc — a high gloss black laminate with a rich reflective finish — while the remaining two walls blend half-height mirrors and PPS1 Grigio skinplate, providing depth and dimension. The ceiling matches the PPS1 Grigio for a cohesive look, while polished stainless steel trims and operating panels finish the space with a refined metallic accent.

The stainless steel doors, fitted with transparent glass panels, offer visibility and natural light transmission — an elegant yet functional touch that complements the home’s open-plan layout. The lift is centrally positioned within a wraparound staircase, making it an architectural centrepiece that blends function with finesse. Thanks to this central placement, the lift is easily accessible from all main living areas — practical for family use, guests, and even the family dog.
