17TH CENTURY HOTEL 24 HOUR BESPOKE LIFT INSTALLATION
In the heart of the market town of Ambleside are 57 elegant ensuit
rooms, a restaurant and several reception areas encased
in an enchanting 17th century building entertaining both leisure
and business clients. Due to the age of the building they had no
lift and no room to integrate one, having herd of iKONICs service
the hotel approached our team.
iKONIC Challenges
The company required the minimalist down time of the stair
way and impact on their guests possible, the period of the
building meant it had many original features and the lift needed
to complement the surroundings. The removal of the roof
also needed careful planning to enable the new lift shaft to be
lowered into the stairway
iKONIC Solution
Utilising the inner core of the dog leg, spiral staircase as the
shaft footprint – creating an aesthetic feature of the lift shaft.
The lift car was cladded in Alcantara leather with removable
panels so whilst at the time it perfectly reflected the luxury of
the architecture of its surroundings, it is also easy to update to
match new decor. The roof of the hotel was taken off and the lift
was place in the designated space by a crane resulting in only a
3-hour block on the staircase.
IKONIC Results
The lift solution was installed in just 24 hours, with minimum
impact on the guests and thoroughly reflected the luxurious,
traditional atmosphere of the hotel. Utilising sophisticated
thinking and planning allowed our team to achieve our clients
brief within the time frame and budget.
