A compact Phoenix lift for a heritage home in Paddington, Brisbane
A compact Phoenix home lift for a heritage home in Paddington, planned around a tight urban footprint. It was installed with minimal disruption and finished to match the home's timber interiors, so it adds easy floor-to-floor access without changing the home's character.

A lift that fits a beautiful home, not a hospital.
The owners wanted to add a lift without changing the character of their heritage home. We planned a compact Phoenix around the existing layout, kept the building works to a minimum, and finished it to match the home's timber interiors.
