Luxury Aritco HomeLift S15 Installed Within an Architect-Designed New Build

Home Lift Installation | Midlands

Project Overview

A1 Access Lifts was appointed to work alongside the homeowner, architect and construction team to deliver a premium Aritco HomeLift S15 as part of a bespoke luxury new-build property in the Midlands.

Accessibility was a key consideration from the very beginning of the design process. Rather than adding a lift retrospectively, the property was designed around it, ensuring every level of the home remained fully accessible while maintaining the clean architectural lines and premium finish expected within a high-end residence.

Early collaboration allowed the lift to become a seamless feature of the home, providing both everyday convenience and complete future-proofing for the homeowners.

The Challenge

The homeowners wanted a lift that would enhance the property's design rather than dominate it.

Working from the earliest design stages, it was important that the lift integrated naturally into the architectural layout while maintaining generous living spaces, uninterrupted sightlines and the luxurious feel of the home.

The installation also needed to complement the carefully selected interior finishes, with every element coordinated alongside the architect, structural engineers and construction team to ensure the lift became an integral part of the finished property.

Planning the lift during construction also meant considering future servicing and maintenance, ensuring engineers could safely access all components without affecting the home's day-to-day use.

Our Solution

Working closely with the architect and principal contractor, A1 Access Lifts specified the Aritco HomeLift S15—the largest model within the Aritco HomeLift range. Offering a spacious platform, premium design features and a 400kg rated capacity, it was the ideal choice for a luxury family home where accessibility and comfort were equally important.

Because the lift was incorporated into the design from the outset, we were able to coordinate every stage of the installation with the wider construction programme, ensuring the finished lift appeared as though it had always been part of the home.

Our scope of works included:

• Design consultation with the homeowner and architect
• Technical coordination with the construction team
• Lift specification and bespoke finish selection
• Installation of the Aritco HomeLift S15
• Electrical installation and commissioning
• Testing and safety inspections
• Client handover and operational guidance

This collaborative approach ensured the lift complemented both the architecture and the interior design while providing reliable, long-term accessibility.

Installation

Installing the lift during the construction phase allowed every element of the project to be carefully planned and coordinated before completion of the property.

Working alongside the principal contractor and other specialist trades, our engineers integrated the lift into the building programme, ensuring the installation progressed efficiently while maintaining the exceptionally high standards expected within a luxury home.

Once installed, the lift underwent comprehensive testing and commissioning before being handed over ready for occupation.

The Result

The completed Aritco HomeLift S15 has become a striking yet understated feature of this exceptional home.

Providing approximately 2.8 metres of travel over two floors with a 400kg rated capacity, the lift delivers smooth, quiet and reliable travel while blending effortlessly with the home's contemporary architecture and premium interior finishes.

By incorporating the lift during the earliest stages of construction, the homeowners now benefit from a fully integrated accessibility solution that enhances everyday living, protects the long-term value of the property and provides complete confidence for the future.
