Lift Shop Hydraulic A-Series Case Study – Ocean Grove, VIC

The Property

Located in Ocean Grove, this dual-residence development by Mila Development Group comprises two refined, three-level coastal townhouses designed for modern, long-term living. The project blends architectural clarity, premium materials and future-ready design.

Each residence includes four bedrooms, four bathrooms, two secure car spaces, and three full levels of internal living, with coastal outlooks toward the Bellarine Peninsula. Positioned within walking distance of beaches, cafés and the village centre, the homes were designed with vertical accessibility considered from the outset – ensuring they remain elegant, functional and adaptable over time.

Architectural & Lifestyle Context

Ocean Grove is one of Victoria’s most desirable coastal markets, attracting buyers who value design quality, walkability and longevity. With key living spaces spread across multiple levels, a lift was essential to support effortless daily movement and long-term accessibility.

The design brief required a residential lift that would:

  • Integrate seamlessly with bespoke joinery and finishes
  • Enhance accessibility for all ages and life stages
  • Add genuine lifestyle and resale value
  • Maintain a calm, refined visual presence

 

Project Challenges

Multi-level access without disruption
Spanning three storeys, the homes required vertical access that would not compromise spatial flow or architectural intent.

Consistency across levels
Each level carries a different mood, from private bedrooms to open-plan living areas. The lift needed to adapt visually while remaining cohesive throughout.

Future-proofing for premium buyers
Longevity, quiet operation and timeless design were critical to meet the expectations of owner-occupiers and downsizers.
