Outdoor panoramic
elevator

The K-Planet outdoor panoramic elevator by Millepiani combines essential elements
to create a striking visual result. Cabins and supporting structures are designed
around architectural requirements, transforming them into outstanding styling
opportunities and creating impressive panoramic installations.
This type of outdoor elevator is often used where there is insufficient space
inside the building for an elevator shaft.

Panoramic elevators are therefore often used in renovation projects where
suitable space for an elevator shaft is not available.

A panoramic elevator is also an ideal solution for historic buildings, both externally
and internally. The transparency of glass is a deliberate design choice that
helps the elevator blend harmoniously with building façades.
A cabin with a glazed side also makes the journey more enjoyable,
allowing passengers to observe their surroundings.

The elevator shaft is built using a suitable steel structure, which may include
reinforcing bracing. These structures integrate perfectly into residential,
commercial and industrial environments, adding high-quality aesthetic
elements without detracting from the existing architecture.

For the elevator shaft cladding, impact-resistant glass with a minimum thickness
of 6 mm is often used, with a choice of finishes to provide elegance,
functionality, customisation, flexibility and ergonomics.

This type of system is also often easy to install, providing another reason
to choose it as a vertical transportation solution.

An outdoor elevator must meet a number of essential requirements. It must be
watertight and resistant to frost and all weather conditions. If installed in
environments with high salinity, such as near the sea, all components
must be specifically suitable for those conditions.

For historic buildings or those who appreciate a modern-country style,
panoramic elevator cabins can be fitted with wooden panelling to add
a refined, neoclassical touch, even within a modern building,
luxury hotel, prestigious institutional property or luxury residence.

The outdoor panoramic elevator cabin usually features a glazed side,
making the journey more engaging for visitors and passengers travelling
between floors.

One of the most appreciated features of an outdoor panoramic elevator
is its accessibility.

This type of system can also make buildings accessible to people with
disabilities when there is not enough internal space to accommodate
an elevator shaft.

Outdoor elevators are often found in historic settings, with shafts positioned
in courtyards and glass cladding that preserves the brightness of the
surrounding spaces. For these reasons, an outdoor elevator is
an ideal solution in many situations.

In addition to assisting people with reduced mobility, an outdoor panoramic
elevator adds significant value and improves comfort for families,
tourists and anyone using the lifting system.

The K-Planet outdoor elevator by Millepiani Elevators S.p.A. embodies our
concept of transparency, combining high-quality elements to achieve
a highly appealing aesthetic result.

Cabins, supporting structures and other structural elements are seamlessly
integrated with full respect for the architectural features of their
surroundings, becoming valuable design components and providing
a spectacular panoramic experience.

An outdoor panoramic elevator must be waterproof and resistant to frost,
wind, hail and all weather conditions.

For example, panoramic elevators designed and installed in buildings located
in coastal areas require all components to be suitable for high salinity
and sea winds.

architectural enhancement and design.

Panoramic elevators are smart, ergonomic solutions that can be customised
to meet different customer requirements and comply with
current regulatory standards.

The main benefits of panoramic elevators include:

• they allow more natural light to enter the surrounding spaces,
• they are safe and reliable,
• they allow passengers to enjoy the outside view during the journey;
• glass walls can help reduce the discomfort experienced by people who suffer from claustrophobia in confined spaces such as elevators;
• they are particularly suitable for integration into virtually any architectural setting, including historic buildings and institutional properties;
• glass and steel give the outdoor panoramic elevator an especially elegant design.

Several factors affect the cost of an outdoor panoramic elevator:

• hydraulic or electric drive system;
• construction materials;
• component customisation;
• materials and additional work that may increase the overall cost of the system, such as thermal insulation;
• shape of the outdoor panoramic elevator cabin.
