Office Design
LIFT ME UP ThirdWay Interiors appointed The Platform Lift Company to provide a modern bespoke open style platform lift solution for the newly refurbished reception area of the Metro Building Hammersmith. ThirdWay Interiors required a stylish platform lift solution to overcome the physical barrier of four steps from the communal space and reception area leading up to the offices/lift lobby. The design brief specified that the lift should be contemporary to complement the black interior finishes used within the newly refurbished reception area and café. The Platform Lift Company designed and built a bespoke platform lift solution. To create an open and modern feel to the lift, glass was used for the door and car, and steel black mesh for the sides. Installation was carried out over two days. The stylish finish of the platform lift fits seamlessly within the newly refurbished communal space. The RAL colour of the black mesh used for the sides of the lift perfectly matches the black interior details and the glazed fronted lift mirrors the contemporary feel of the impressive double height glass-fronted reception area. www.platformliftco.co.uk
