The Case for Residential LiftsMore of our clients are considering residential elevators for their homes and we certainly understand the request. Primarily, it is to make our homes safer and more functional, allowing us to live in our homes as long as possible. In our area of the country, many people like the idea of inverted house plans where the living areas are on the second floor to provide more privacy and better views. Having an elevator simplifies the task of moving between floors, whether it’s people, heavy groceries, or bulky storage boxes. Home elevators also allow home owners to make the most of limited space as they take up a smaller footprint than a standard stairwell. DMA has collaborated with A+ Elevators & Lifts who specialize in custom lifts. Today’s elevators have endless possibilities and can be designed to blend in with finishes in a home or make a style statement. Elevators and lifts should be considered when creating the program for your home, whether to be installed as a home is built or simply designed as closets which could be easily retrofitted for an elevator as time and budget allows. Including an elevator in your home can allow you to safely age in place, simplify daily life, or be a convenient, space-saving and stylish upgrade that might add value to your home.
