Elevator Shaft for Railway Station

‍Installation Location: Province of Venice (Italy)
Status: Completed
Product: Special execution

The renovation and barrier adaptation of this railway station required an intervention that would allow users to access from the underpass to the platforms via an elevator. The commissioned designer requested an elevator shaft with a distinctive image and materials that would ensure high strength and durability, and presented us with a draft design that we industrialized and adapted to the structural and installation conditions of the elevator system.
For the construction of the elevator shaft, portions of screen-printed sector glass were used, which, inserted into the arched profiles, gave the glass walls a sinuous and modern shape. Curved satin-finished stainless steel was used in the front and near the landing door, matching the shapes in the other walls. The roof deck, shaped with rounded forms, also follows the plan of the structure, adding coherence to the overall design.
The result is an elevator shaft that is not only harmonious, but immediately catches the eye for its elegance and sophistication.

The designer’s request was clear: to create an elevator shaft that was functional but also aesthetically remarkable. We then worked closely with the designer to turn his draft into an industrializable design. The structure had to be strong and durable, able to withstand the heavy use typical of a railway station.

For the construction of the elevator shaft, sectional glass portions of the tempered and screen-printed type were used. These portions, embedded in the arched profiles, gave the glass walls a sinuous and modern shape. The tempered and screen-printed glass not only added a touch of elegance, but also provided strength and safety, which are essential in a public environment.

Curved satin-finished stainless steel was used in the front and near the landing door, matching the shapes in the other walls. This material not only offered a refined appearance, but was also extremely durable and corrosion-resistant, ideal for an installation in a train station.

The roof covering was also designed with rounded shapes, following the plan of the structure. This element not only protected the elevator from the weather, but added coherence to the overall design, creating a harmonious and integrated structure.

The elevator installation was carried out with precision, ensuring that every component was perfectly aligned and functional. The result was an elevator shaft that is not only harmonious and durable, but immediately caught the eye for its elegance and sophistication. Screen-printed glass walls and satin-finished stainless steel provided a modern and sophisticated look, while the functionality and durability of the structure ensured reliable service for all users.

This train station renovation and adaptation project was an excellent example of how design and functionality can be combined to create innovative and attractive solutions. The choice of high-quality materials and careful design enabled the client’s needs to be fully met, providing an accessible and visually appealing elevator that facilitated access to the tracks, breaking down architectural barriers and significantly improving the experience of station users.
