The Aurora A100 features a pure silhouette outlined with Bauhaus-inspired minimalist lines. Through the integration of transparent materials and a one-piece aluminum structure, it softens the traditional feel of a home elevator, seamlessly blending it into the living environment and making it a part of the architectural language. The 360° open-plan cabin redefines the spatial boundaries of a traditional elevator, connecting the interior with the surrounding environment through a transparent structure. This allows natural light, sightlines, and views to naturally permeate the cabin, transforming daily elevator use from a confined space into a brighter and more open living experience.
With its flexible shaft layout and diverse door configurations, the A100 offers more adaptable installation solutions for different residential layouts and spatial conditions, allowing the elevator to naturally integrate into the living environment and transforming going up and down stairs from a simple vertical passage into a more relaxed and natural part of daily life.
The core innovation of the A100 stems from a re-examination of the traditional structure and spatial relationship of home elevators. Its 360° panoramic structure expands multi-directional views through large transparent interfaces, blurring the boundary between the car and the building, allowing light, sightlines, and space to blend naturally and establishing a more open spatial connection. In response to the limited living space, the A100 adopts a U-shaped steel belt suspension system. By optimizing the internal structural layout, it effectively releases shaft space and leaves more usable space for the living environment.
It also offers a variety of door configurations, including automatic center-opening doors, automatic side-opening doors, and manual doors, which can be flexibly selected according to different apartment types and installation conditions to achieve more efficient adaptation to residential spaces. The A100 presents its design results with a simple and transparent form, integrating complex technologies such as suspension, guide rails, traction, and spatial layout into the overall structure, transforming engineering logic from a visual burden into a light and pure spatial experience.
