Capsule Lift

Panoramic glass cars for lobbies, showrooms and atriums, curved or faceted.

A capsule is as much a facade decision as a lift one. We work from your elevation drawing and handle the structural interface, glazing specification and lighting crown alongside the lift itself.

We work off your drawings rather than asking you to work off ours, so the capsule meets the facade cleanly at every level with no packing or trim added on site. Glass, frame, lighting and handrail are specified with the lobby, not after it.

A capsule lift is as much a facade element as a machine, so we work from your architect drawings rather than asking the building to work around ours. The glass, the frame, the fixing back to the structure and the exposure it has to take are all engineered before the shaft is set out.

Panels are laminated and rated for the position rather than chosen for looks alone, and the lighting, handrail and floor are specified alongside the lobby so nothing is added on site afterwards to make it fit. Access for cleaning the glass is planned in at the same stage, which is the detail most capsule installations discover too late.
