PASSENGER LIFT DESIGNED FOR
EXISTING LIFT SHAFT
Kensington | London | Private Residential Home
OUR CLIENT
A London-based construction company were renovating an 18-million-pound home in Kensington .
Requiring the removal of an old hydraulic lift and the installation of a new sustainable passenger lift that could be installed in the pre-existing lift shaft . Without additional building work being needed . Interior designers in Los Angeles had a brief about how the new lift car should look .
This development company was searching for a lift partner , that could take care of all facets of the project . Including consultation , design , supply , installation , and testing . An architect recommended iKONIC Lifts .
Our consultant visited the client ’ s site to conduct a free survey so that we could provide a solution and quotation for a complete proposal for a five stop bespoke passenger lift .
OUR CHALLENGE
This was not a huge challenge for our team , as we often work with existing lift shaft . Due to inclusion early in the tender process and being able to complete an onsite survey . Many issues we would normally face were eradicated .
We found that low headroom or pits were not required . Paul Hasting spotted an opportunity to maximize the space for a larger lift car and enhanced user experience .
Devised a timescale to fit in with the constructions works . Collaborating with the interior design team overseas , which might take place outside of regular hours .
In addition , we would have to modify the lift doors slightly , for this application .
The early inclusion really helped us overcome a lot of challenges that normally would arise . We responsibly removed and disposed of the old hydraulic lift for our client as our first task .
iKONIC SOLUTION
Our experts , identifying opportunities to maximize space and working within the constraints , specified the equipment suitable for the existing lift shaft .
Achieving a much larger lift car in comparison to the old one . We obtained our brief from the interior design team in LA and provided lift car samples , that matched their requirements . We worked out of hours to collaborate and ensure the project didn ’ t fall behind and the LA team was completely happy with the samples .
iKONIC Mars Passenger Lift best suited this application to fit the pre-existing lift shaft . A slight modification to the doors , ( moving the lintels up ) which allowed the unit designed for the space to fit perfectly .
Providing an efficient sustainable vertical transportation solution . All elements and project management were taken care of by our team for the client .
