Lift 115

Originally designed as a 2-pitch lift, it became clear during the build that a 3-pitch design was necessary to better hug the hillside and ensure a smooth, safe ride without interfering with the existing building.

The lift had minimal clearance at the bottom station, which made it extremely challenging to land the car. To resolve this, the client had to trim the edge of their roof to create enough space for the car as it moved downhill.

The upper station platform was added after the lift's initial construction to provide direct access to the cottage from the driveway.

This photo highlights the minimal clearances at the bottom station. The lift is equipped with a ‘PARK’ button, which moves the car up the track when not in use. When the car is not at the lower station, the track remains clear of walkways. Perfectly designed for this small space.
