This family envisioned their island cottage as their forever cottage, so they thoughtfully planned for the future. To ensure the stairs wouldn’t become a barrier as they aged, they knew they needed a lift, ensuring long-term accessibility and comfort.

The track is on this unused side yard and set so that the removable dock, when installed, would just fill the gap. The upper station is off the side of their full length front deck.

The removable dock section connecting the boathouse to the lift fit perfectly.

They can get themselves and their things from the dock all the way to the kitchen without climbing any stairs. The car is also big enough that they could use a use a dolly or wagon to roll things all the way to the cottage.

The lower button box is attached directly to the rock so can stay where it is in the winter.

The upper station is off the the side of their full length from deck and doesn’t interfere with their view of the water.

The track was set so the car would be centered on the section of the railing. We mounted the buttons directly into the railing post to further integrate the lift into their space and the existing railing was replaced with a self-closing self-latching door.

The motor house cover is tucked away around the corner in a little alcove and is hidden from view while on the deck. The lift control panel is under the deck, in an easily accessible location.
