Elevator retrofit

Project Year: 2015

Project Cost: $75,001 - $100,000

Country: United States

Zip Code: 60614

A glass and steel enclosed elevator was added into the skylighted interior garden atrium of a city house. The two sections of the house and the elevator are connected by glass block walkways and a glass railing system.

Elevator retrofit

The elevator enclosure was designed to minimize its footprint in the garden and be a transparent element.

Elevator retrofit

At each floor glass block walkways connect the new elevator to the existing walkway bridges that cross the atrium.

Elevator retrofit

A glass railing system ties the walkways to the elevator and maintains the open, transparent look.
