The architectural elevator, engineered for the Gulf sun.
Panoramic elevators look effortless when they're done well — and conspicuous when they aren't. AuroLift's panoramic range is engineered around three realities specific to GCC projects: extreme solar load on glazed cabins, thermal cycling between conditioned lobbies and shaft conditions, and the structural demands of tall atrium installations. Every glazing decision, frame profile, and drive configuration is made against those realities.
Configurations.
Half-round (semi-circular)
The default architectural elevator: a curved glass front facing the atrium, opaque rear wall for shaft sealing and shaft-equipment concealment. Ideal for hotel atria, premium retail, and signature lobbies.
Full-round (cylindrical)
Glass on three or four sides for free-standing installations in open atriums and observation locations. Engineered for maximum visibility with structural integrity.
Square panoramic
Architectural cubes with glass on two or three faces, suited to contemporary commercial lobbies and mixed-use podiums.
Observation
Purpose-built for observation-deck and viewing-tower projects. Heavy-duty wind/seismic engineering, redundant safety systems, and visitor-capacity configurations.
Glazing & solar specification.
- Tempered + laminated safety glass per EN 81-20/50 glazing requirements.
- Low-iron glass for true colour transmission and minimal green tint.
- Solar-control coatings rated for Gulf insolation, reducing heat gain inside the cabin.
- Bonded structural framing in brushed stainless, polished brass, or custom architectural finishes.
- Bespoke LED ambient and architectural lighting integration.
- Optional smart-glass switchable opacity for privacy or atmosphere.
