About this asset

This cylindrical glass elevator Revit family features an exposed multi-tier glazed hoistway anchored on a solid circular foundation base. Designed around a vertical cylindrical shaft, the assembly incorporates full-height structural steel uprights supporting curved glazing panels. Ring collars divide the vertical travel into three distinct landing zones, highlighted with circular connection nodes. A central vertical partition blade guides the internal cab, which features semi-translucent enclosure panels and minimal framing. At the bottom, a heavy circular base forms the pit or landing foundation. The glazed cylinder provides 360-degree transparency, exposing the internal hoistway geometry and vertical transit car without traditional opaque shaft walls.

The download is a 1 MB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

Load this RFA component directly into your Revit project to represent vertical circulation in building cores or multi-level atriums. Align the family to floor levels or structural slabs, adjusting instance parameters or level constraints where applicable. Material takeoffs and visual appearances can be customised through family type properties to match specific project glazing and architectural metal finishes in Enscape, Lumion, or native Revit views.

Ideal for commercial offices, luxury retail malls, transit hubs, and hospitality lobbies, this panoramic glazed lift serves as a functional architectural focal point. Model it within open multistory voids, interior gallerias, or exterior curtain-wall envelopes where unobstructed sightlines are critical. Architects specifying scenic elevators, observation lifts, or decorative conveying systems can pair this unit with circular staircases and structural mezzanine balconies across concept and detailed design phases.
