The HomeLift is a home elevator designed by Alexander Lervik in collaboration with local manufacturer Aritco. The partnership created an elevator with a clear glass shaft to allow users to customize its interior, thereby becoming part of the home's interior design.
The elevator can include wall art and Bolon carpeting. Moreover, the mobility solution boasts app-controlled lighting for users to customize its settings as desired. Lervik highlights the elevator as an expressive and clear design element that can become centralized in a modern home design scheme.
HomeLift is a quiet and cost-efficient alternative to traditional elevators because it does not require a separate elevator shaft, cables, or counterweights to function. It combines platform and shaft with a simple screw-nut drive system instead.
