Elevators and design

The elevator is certainly a design detail that must necessarily be perfectly integrated with the surrounding environment; if before this element was an aseptic and impersonal place almost always designed after the finishes of the building, today it is a must that every architect must take into consideration. From the definition of materials and colors, to the lighting … everything needs a careful and tasteful look. For this reason, the blog of “elevator scene studio” has tried to trace some guidelines that can dictate the course of everything related to cabin design. Here is an excerpt of the attentions to have when designing this type of space…
“Define the purpose of the elevator: before designing the interior of the elevator cab, it’s important to determine what the elevator will be used for
Consider the dimensions of the elevator cab: the size and shape will also play a role in the design
Choose materials and colors: Selecting materials and colors for the elevator cab interior is an important aspect of the design process
Add lighting: Lighting is an important aspect of the elevator cab interior design. It should be bright enough to ensure that the interior of the elevator cab is well-lit and easy to see, but not so bright that it causes discomfort for the passengers
Add wayfinding: Wayfinding is an important aspect of the design. It should be easy for passengers to understand which floor they are on and which floor they are going to
Consider the overall aesthetic: The overall aesthetic of the elevator cab interior should complement the overall aesthetic of the building
Test and evaluate: Once the design is complete, it’s important to test and evaluate the elevator cab interior to ensure that it meets the functional, safety and aesthetic requirements”
