When the choice came down to either moving away from their beloved family home or upgrading it for future comfort, these Melbourne homeowners made the smart decision — stay put and install a custom E2 lift with glass shaft. The result? Seamless vertical access, enhanced lifestyle, and the ability to enjoy their home for years to come.
Partnering with Fraser Paxton Architects and Lift Shop’s experienced Melbourne-based Sales and Operations teams, the lift was expertly integrated at the rear of the property — adjacent to the garage and sheltered within the courtyard. This location allowed for safe, undercover access directly into the home, ideal for both convenience and peace of mind.
Design-wise, the goal was openness and transparency. The cabin and shaft feature maximum glass panels — making the lift feel light, airy, and unobtrusive within its courtyard setting. Whether viewed from within the lift or across the outdoor space, the open construction offers a welcome sense of spaciousness rather than enclosure.
Inside the cabin, a slimline horizontal car operating panel was selected for a minimalist look — perfectly aligning with the understated aesthetic of the rest of the home. The clean lines, thoughtful positioning, and premium finishes ensure that the lift blends naturally into its environment while delivering top-tier functionality.
This project is a testament to how forward planning and collaborative design can allow homeowners to stay exactly where they want to be — without compromise. Rather than relocate, the lift provided a future-proofed solution that retains everything the family loved about their home.
