A Statement Elevator Where Architecture, Light & Luxury Meet
The Savaria Vuelift® is a truly extraordinary residential elevator designed for homeowners who want accessibility without compromise and design that becomes part of the home’s architecture. With a fully integrated hoistway and panoramic glass construction, the Vuelift is available in round or octagonal profiles, offering unparalleled placement flexibility and visual impact.
Installed throughout North Carolina and Virginia, the Vuelift is ideal for luxury residences, open-concept homes, coastal properties, and architect-driven builds where form matters just as much as function.
Why Homeowners Choose the Savaria Vuelift®
The Savaria Vuelift stands apart from traditional home elevators by combining architectural beauty, advanced engineering, and unmatched placement flexibility. Some of the design features homeowners make stunning visually as well as a functional lift.
Panoramic Glass Design
Unlike traditional enclosed elevators, the Vuelift features panoramic crystal-clear glass or premium acrylic panels that allow light to flow freely between floors to enhance openness and visual connection throughout the home.
Integrated Hoistway = Maximum Design Flexibility
The Vuelift’s self-contained hoistway allows it to be installed:
- Against a wall
- In a corner
- In the center of an open floor plan
- Within a circular or winding staircase
This design eliminates the need for a traditional shaft and opens up placement possibilities that simply aren’t achievable with standard residential elevators.
Ideal for Retrofits, Remodels & Modernization Projects
Unlike traditional residential elevators that require a full shaft and major structural changes, the Vuelift’s integrated hoistway and compact footprint make it an excellent solution for modernizing existing homes.
If you are updating a coastal cottage, adding accessibility to a multi-level home, or incorporating an elevator into a renovation without sacrificing layout or light, the Vuelift offers a refined, design-forward alternative with significantly fewer construction demands.
Smooth, Stable Ride
Powered by a winding drum drive system with aircraft-grade cables, the Vuelift delivers a smooth, quiet, and reliable ride that is perfect for daily use across multiple levels.
Vuelift Models & Design Options
There are several Vuelift models offering multiple designs, including shapes and configurations. Vuelift allows homeowners to choose a profile that complements their architecture, floor plan, and personal design vision without compromising performance or accessibility.
