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.

The Lift Solution

Lift Shop supplied and installed a Hydraulic A Series Swing Door Lift, servicing all three levels. Selected for its smooth, quiet operation and design flexibility, the A Series is ideally suited to premium residential environments.

Custom features included:

Aluminium swing doors with timber panelling matched to surrounding joinery

A long brushed stainless-steel handle for a refined architectural detail

Level-specific treatments, to introduce contrast and visual connection

The result is a lift that reads as a bespoke architectural element, not a mechanical addition.

Everyday Living & Accessibility

The lift provides seamless movement between garage, living and bedroom levels, enhancing convenience while ensuring accessibility for residents and guests of all ages. It supports both everyday comfort and long-term living.

Final Reflection
