At West Coast Elevators, we’ve spent years perfecting the art of designing, building, and installing custom lifts for Perth homeowners. What we’ve discovered is that a residential elevator is far more than a luxury addition. Rather, it’s a strategic investment that enhances functionality, complements your design vision, and significantly boosts your property’s resale value.
Our team has worked with homeowners across Perth’s diverse suburbs, from riverside mansions to contemporary urban dwellings, creating custom elevator solutions that transform how people experience their homes.
Boosting Accessibility and Lifestyle
Creating Homes for Every Generation
Multi-generational living is becoming increasingly common in Western Australia, with many families choosing to share homes across generations. A custom elevator eliminates mobility barriers, allowing grandparents, parents, and children to access all levels of the home with ease.
For Perth’s growing population of over-65s, a home elevator means the freedom to age in place without sacrificing access to upper floors. This independence is invaluable, allowing homeowners to remain in the homes they love for decades longer than might otherwise be possible.
Everyday Convenience for Modern Living
Our Perth clients consistently report how their custom elevators transform daily routines. Carrying groceries, moving furniture, or transporting laundry between floors becomes effortless. For busy professionals and families, this time-saving convenience adds up significantly over the years.
And let’s not forget our four-legged family members. With Australia having one of the highest rates of pet ownership globally, we’ve installed numerous elevators specifically designed to accommodate ageing pets who struggle with stairs or for owners who simply want to make life easier for their furry companions.
Elevating Design and Aesthetics
A custom elevator becomes a stunning design feature that complements your home’s architectural style. Perth homes with contemporary minimalism, coastal elegance, or mid-century charm can all be complemented by our elevator designs, which enhance and elevate their aesthetic qualities.
For homes with spectacular views of Perth’s skyline, the Swan River, or our magnificent coastline, a custom elevator provides effortless access to upper levels where these vistas can be fully appreciated. We’ve helped homeowners in elevated suburbs maximise their property’s most valuable asset (the view) by ensuring it’s easily accessible to everyone.
Our bespoke options include:
- Custom timber panels that match your home’s existing woodwork
- Glass features that create a sense of openness and light
- Specialised flooring that complements your interior design
- Integrated lighting systems that enhance the elevator’s presence
- Customised finishes that reflect your personal style
Adding Financial Value
The financial benefits of installing a custom elevator extend well beyond personal convenience. With Perth’s ageing population and the rise in multi-generational households, homes with elevators are increasingly sought after in the property market.
In premium suburbs like Cottesloe, Claremont, and Dalkeith, a custom elevator has become a distinguishing feature that helps properties stand out in competitive markets. Real estate agents frequently highlight home elevators as premium selling points, particularly for multi-storey properties along South Perth Esplanade or West Coast Highway.
For many Perth homeowners, building upward rather than outward has proven more cost-effective, particularly as land values continue to rise. A custom elevator makes vertical living not just possible but luxurious and convenient.
Perhaps most surprisingly to many homeowners, residential elevators have become significantly more affordable and accessible in recent years. As their popularity grows, the technology has advanced while becoming more cost-effective, making them a practical addition for a wider range of properties.
A custom elevator transforms your Perth property in multiple dimensions. At West Coast Elevators, we understand Perth homes and Perth homeowners. Our local expertise ensures your elevator installation process is smooth from the initial design consultation through installation and ongoing service.
