Improving the User Experience – Passenger Lifts for Public Buildings

In our increasingly fast-moving cities, efficiency and accessibility are crucial for a positive user experience in public buildings. In hospitals, train stations, or museums, passenger lifts play a vital role in providing smooth and efficient movement for everyone.

Luxury Lifts for Public Buildings

A luxury or feature lift is a design statement. Tower Lifts specialises in creating bespoke lifts for public buildings. From grand hotels and art galleries to high-end retail spaces and exclusive rooftop terraces, our luxury lifts always create a lasting impression.

Here’s how we bring luxury to life:

  • Scenic Lifts – Our scenic lifts transform vertical transportation into an experience, adding a touch of drama and sophistication. Your guests ascend in a glass-enclosed lift, surrounded by panoramic views of your hotel’s atrium or the cityscape beyond.

  • Bespoke Finishes – We offer a wide range of premium materials and finishes to create a lift that perfectly complements your building’s style and aesthetic. From rich wood veneers and polished metals to custom lighting and innovative technology, we tailor our design to your vision.
  • Smooth and Silent Operation – Our luxury lifts are engineered for whisper-quiet operation and exceptionally smooth rides, ensuring a comfortable and refined experience for your guests.

Case Study 1 – The AMP London

The AMP London, a newly renovated higher education workspace, needed a comprehensive lift system to ensure accessibility for its students and visitors. Tower Lifts was selected to design and install a solution that met the building’s unique demands.

Our Approach:

We installed a total of nine lifts, including six high-capacity passenger lifts, a dedicated firefighting lift, and two platform lifts designed for wheelchair accessibility. Each lift was carefully chosen to cater to specific traffic flow needs and ensure a smooth and efficient experience for all building users.

Key Features:

  • High-speed passenger lifts – To minimise wait times and optimise vertical transportation in this busy commercial hub.
  • Firefighting lift – A dedicated lift equipped to assist firefighters in emergencies, ensuring rapid access to all floors.
  • DDA-compliant platform lifts – Providing accessible vertical circulation for people with mobility impairments.

The Result:

The AMP London now has a comprehensive and reliable lift system that caters to the needs of all its users. Our solution ensures efficient movement throughout the building, enhances accessibility, and contributes to a positive user experience.

One Portsoken Street, an iconic 1980s brutalist building in London, underwent a massive interior renovation in 2019. Tower Lifts played a key role in this transformation by providing a comprehensive lift system that met the demands of this revitalised landmark.

Our Approach:

We removed the existing lifts and installed a total of nine new ones:
