Four-Level Home Lift Replacement near Venice Beach

Venice Beach Home Transformed with ElfoLift 2 Integration

Located just south of Venice Beach, this four-level residence underwent a top-to-bottom transformation, blending old-world charm with sleek, modern design. Central to this transformation was the replacement of an outdated lift with a state-of-the-art ElfoLift 2, tailored to meet both the aesthetic and functional demands of the new design vision.

ProjectReplacing an outdated lift

With the home featuring wraparound staircases, expansive corridors, and an architectural emphasis on natural light, the lift needed to contribute to the sense of openness rather than disrupt it. The solution? An ElfoLift 2, the forerunner of today's A Series, in an adjacent through car layout, complete with polished black stainless steel finishes and full clear glass panels. This choice not only elevated the property's style but ensured seamless transparency and visibility between rooms, floors, and even exterior areas.

Adding a unique design flourish, the lift was finished with custom green Pirelli rubber flooring, a subtle nod to the surrounding staircase and interior scheme. This material choice provided excellent durability, slip resistance, and an unexpected pop of colour in an otherwise ultra-sleek palette.

The frameless glass doors enhance the illusion of space and clarity, while the polished black stainless steel provides a bold and contemporary edge. Together, these materials form a refined contrast that reflects the broader design of the home.

One of the most standout features of this lift installation is its glass shaft, positioned to complement other light-maximising elements in the home, including a glass-bottomed swimming pool above one of the corridors. With the lift shaft acting as a light well, natural daylight floods into the property while allowing uninterrupted views from both inside and out.
