THE OWNDERS of this character packed elevated home in Sydney’s Eastern suburbs were starting to find that the large number of steps at the front of the property was making access too difficult. But because they loved the home and the location so much, they were prepared to do anything to be able to stay rather than move.

So when they decided to give the home a makeover, they also factored in a lift. This has involved excavating an 18m tunnel through solid rock to get to the base of where the lift shaft will be located, and then an additional 10m of rock was then excavated for the lift shaft to be constructed.

The owners were impressed with the range of sizes and finishes possible with the FREEDOMLIFT and also the in-cabin self rescue feature.
