Compact Home Elevator in a Townhouse

This townhouse in Shanghai spreads over multiple floors and the family wisely chose to invest in a compact home elevator. Because of the many stairs to climb in this townhouse, the residential elevator is much more than a luxury feature, it is essential.

For example, the elevator makes it much easier to transport cleaning equipment, boxes or laundry between floors. In addition, having a lift at home reduces risk of tripping and falling in the stairs. For that reason, a domestic elevator not only makes everyday life easier but also a lot safer.

Elegant Lift Integration

The elevator is neatly tucked away at the back of the living room. The timeless design and the neutral colour choice of aluminium-grey make the lift blend in with the modern-style interior. The Kalea A4 Mini is a small and space-saving elevator that integrates well with any interior décor.

Lifts in Staircases

Slim Lift Configuration

To make the lift as slim as possible, the machinery is on the smallest side of the shaft. In addition, for this project, all lift doors are placed on the opposite side of the machinery. However, it is possible to have doors on 3 sides of the shaft on most sizes of the Kalea A4 Mini.

Matching Elevator & Staircase

The RAL 9006 colour of the home elevator is a perfect match to the aluminium structure of the staircase. In fact, the lift and the staircase look like they were designed together. The elegant mix of aluminium, white marble and gold of the staircase is a feast for the eyes. Also notice how the sleek gold trimming of the staircase wraps around all doors and becomes the skirting board.

Perfect Elevator for a Townhouse

The platform elevator links all 4 floors of this elegant townhouse, from the basement to the top floor, without making the stairwell dark. Thanks to the glazed lift shaft and doors, the stairwell remains light and bright.
