BEAUTIFUL PRACTICALITY IN SHANGHAI WITH A HOME LIFT

Housing trends in Shanghai

INTERVIEW WITH HAN WEINING

Recently, we had a chance to talk about lifts and housing trends with Shanghai-based architect Han Weining. He says that as more and more Chinese homeowners are living in multi-level housing, they are finding that Aritco lifts are not only a practical solution.

“For instance, when pursuing the ultimate visual effect, the combination of structural design, glass stiffness and transparency, fine aluminum profile, and steel strength make the lift more than just a machine, but a piece of high-end furniture – a work of art,” Han Weining says.

THE COMBINATION OF AESTHETIC DESIGN AND INDUSTRIAL STRUCTURE

“The arc angle design of automatic double door not only meets the functional requirements, safety requirements, but also produces elegant aesthetic feeling. The soft light strips outline the sharp outline, and the details fascinate us.”
But practical they are. Where space is often a premium, the space utilization of an Aritco lift is high, he explains. “The bottom does not need the pit required by the traditional elevator, the top does not need the space higher than the door, the flexible that be able to open doors to multi-side.”

Han Weining says these features are very helpful to his floorplans. “Spare space is saved and allocated to other living space. Also, how to perfectly integrate with the space on each floor is the most important considerations for us. We usually place the elevator as close to the stairs as possible.

For Hahn Weining, it is this combination of aesthetic design and industrial structure that makes Aritco lifts so attractive to him as an architect. “Platform lifts also have a more compact, beautiful appearance. And they are easy to handle, without exposed mechanical parts, which is very suitable for modern indoor designs. They are more than just a way to transport people up and down.”
