Creative Elevator Solutions Offered by Signature Elevators
Finding the right spot for an elevator in an existing home often takes some creativity. In this case we were trying to figure out how to place a 52” Pneumatic Vacuum Elevator serving all three floors in a house in Darnestown, MD. It turns out that the best place for the 1st and 2nd stops was up against the front wall of the main level and the basement. Unfortunately, the third stop would then open into the open area of the front foyer.
The solution was really very simple. Extend the balcony overlooking the foyer back to the front wall of the house. There was enough room from the top of the steps to the next wall. About 6 feet. We extended this entire section to the front wall of the house. Extending, matching balustrade and trim such that it looks like to had been originally designed this way. Then we made our structural holes in the main floor as well as our new second floor. As they say in France “Voila”, we installed the elevator and the customer was very happy.
