Savaria Elevators provide space-saving, durable, low maintenance solutions for increasing the accessibility of new builds and renovations alike. These internationally trusted lifts offer the durability and low maintenance expected of a commercial lift in a sleek space-saving design for residential interiors. 

Applications

Architectural Home Elevators offer four of Savaria’s luxury elevator styles that can be retrofitted into existing spaces or incorporated into new builds. Their elevators can go up to 15m high or six levels, providing a versatile option for multi-storey Kiwi homes. 

They are a smart choice for clients with mobility needs such as wheelchair users, as well as those looking to futureproof their homes, or as a highly desirable luxury feature for high-end homes. Incorporating a lift into an existing home is a practical upgrade that increases accessibility and adds value to the home, while allowing clients to age in place knowing that any changes in accessibility requirements are already taken care of. 

Highly Customisable Eclipse Elevator

Architectural Home Elevators' Eclipse model is highly customisable giving you the ability to tailor the design to suit the home’s overall aesthetic.

Customisable features include: 

• Interior finishes: For interior panelling, designers can select from a range of finishes in melamine, finished hardwood, unfinished veneer or luxury MDF.
• Fixture finishes: Different styles and finishes are available for cab operating panels, hall buttons, lights and handrails, including stainless-steel, blackened stainless-steel and brushed brass finishes. 
• Door options: A range of door styles and colours are available including swing doors with frosted or clear glass, bifold doors and slim doors that operates just like that of a commercial lift. All doors are available in a range of powder-coated finishes to complement the home's décor. 
• Car operating panel: A luxury upgrade is available for a touch screen COP (car operating panel) with a selection of backgrounds offering a modern touch and greater customisation for clients. 

Savaria Eclipse Home Elevators are chain operated, with no hydraulics. That means they are machine roomless — all engineering is contained within the elevator shaft, helping to save space within the overall design.

This design also means that the pit requirements are low compared to traditional elevators at only 203mm — further reducing space requirements and saving labour time on site.

Luxury Panoramic Vuelift Elevators

Round or Octagonal, and Round Mini.

For homes where clients want that extra wow factor, Architectural Home Elevators also supply the Savaria Vuelift Luxury Home Elevator — a range of eye-catching transparent lifts that become a design feature in their own right. 

Design and aesthetics:

• Transparent cab: Available with a silica glass or clear acrylic cab for stunning 360-degree views and an open feel. 
• Integrated hoistway: A free-standing design that does not require a structural wall for installation, and the hoistway can match the cab material. 
• Customisable finishes: Options for custom RAL colours for the frame, along with choice of cab and hoistway material. 
• Balcony attachment: A hoop attachment is available for installing the elevator on mezzanine floors.
