Every home tells a unique story—shaped by the people who live in it, the memories made within its walls, and the way its spaces flow together. For homeowners with non-traditional layouts, historic buildings, or simply a vision for something beyond the ordinary, finding the right home elevator can feel like solving a puzzle. Standard-sized elevators often clash with tight stairwells, low ceilings, or quirky room configurations, leaving gaps between functional needs and aesthetic dreams. That's where custom-sized home elevators come in—and why partnering with a provider who understands both the technicalities of elevator design and the broader needs of a building project can make all the difference.
Imagine a family in Riyadh with a two-story villa built around a central courtyard. The spiral staircase is beautiful but impractical for elderly grandparents. They need an elevator, but the only available space is a narrow shaft between the kitchen and living room—too small for a standard model. Or a boutique hotel in Jeddah with sloped ceilings and heritage-listed stone walls; installing a commercial elevator would require structural changes that compromise the building's character. These scenarios aren't exceptions—they're the reality of homes and commercial spaces designed to feel personal, not cookie-cutter.
Standard elevators are built for efficiency in mass production, with fixed dimensions that work for new, rectangular buildings. But unique layouts demand flexibility: compact cabins for tight corners, shallow pits for rooms with low floor-to-ceiling heights, or custom door orientations to align with existing doorways. When you can't find an off-the-shelf solution, the alternative—hiring separate contractors for elevator design, structural modifications, and material sourcing—often leads to delays, higher costs, and miscommunication between teams.
The Customization Advantage: A home elevator shouldn't just fit into your space—it should enhance it. Custom sizes allow for cabins that complement your interior design, doors that match your existing fixtures, and technical specifications tailored to your home's structural limits. It's about making functionality feel seamless, not like an afterthought.
At Coloria, we've spent decades understanding that a building project is a tapestry of interconnected elements. An elevator isn't just a metal box—it's part of a larger ecosystem that includes walls, flooring, electrical systems, and even the furniture in the rooms it connects. As a global one-stop architectural solution provider, we don't just sell elevators; we deliver integrated solutions that turn complex layout challenges into opportunities for innovation.
Our journey in the Middle East, particularly in Saudi Arabia, has taught us to value adaptability. With a local presence and deep roots in the region, we've worked on projects ranging from traditional Najdi homes to modern urban apartments, each with its own set of spatial constraints. This experience has shaped our approach to custom home elevators: we start by listening to your layout, then design an elevator that fits, while ensuring every supporting material—from fireproof wall panels to noise-reducing flooring—is available through our network.
Our custom home elevators are built to adapt, not to conform. Whether you need a compact cabin for a narrow shaft, a wheelchair-accessible model with extra headroom, or a glass-walled elevator that doubles as a design feature, we tailor every dimension to your space. Below is a snapshot of how we approach customization:
| Customization Aspect | How We Adapt | Example Application |
|---|---|---|
| Cabin Size | Width, depth, and height adjusted to fit shafts as small as 80cm x 100cm | Historic home with a narrow service shaft converted to an elevator |
| Pit Depth | Shallow-pit models (as low as 10cm) for spaces with limited | Ground-floor rooms with concrete slabs that can't be deeply excavated |
| Door Configuration | Single-slide, bi-parting, or even curved doors to align with room layouts | Open-concept living areas where the elevator door needs to blend with a wall of windows |
| Weight Capacity | From 250kg (small residential) to 500kg (wheelchair-accessible or commercial use) | Family home with frequent use by multiple people or mobility devices |
What sets a truly customer-centric provider apart is the ability to see the bigger picture. Installing a custom elevator isn't just about the elevator itself—it's about the walls that house it, the flooring that supports it, and the electrical systems that power it. When you work with a one-stop building materials supplier, you eliminate the hassle of coordinating between multiple vendors. Here's how we bring it all together:
Our presence in Saudi Arabia isn't just about having an office—it's about understanding the local market's unique needs. With decades of experience serving the Middle East, we've built our reputation on three pillars:
Local Expertise: Our Saudi-based team knows the ins and outs of local building regulations, from elevator safety standards to sustainability requirements aligned with Saudi Vision 2030. We navigate permits and inspections so you don't have to.
Global Quality, Local Service: We source elevator components and building materials from trusted global partners, but our project managers and technicians are based locally, ensuring quick response times and on-site support during installation.
Commitment to Sustainability: As part of our focus on green building materials, our elevators are designed for energy efficiency, with LED lighting and standby modes that reduce power consumption. We also offer eco-friendly wall panels and flooring options, supporting both your sustainability goals and the kingdom's "2030 Vision" for a greener future.
Whole-House Customization: For homeowners embarking on full renovations or new builds, our whole-house customization solutions tie everything together. Imagine designing your elevator, kitchen, bathrooms, and living spaces in one cohesive plan, with a single point of contact for all materials. It's how we turn "complicated" into "comprehensive."
"Custom" often sounds expensive, but at Coloria, we believe affordability and personalization shouldn't be mutually exclusive. By streamlining our supply chain—sourcing directly from manufacturers, integrating elevator production with our existing building materials lineup, and avoiding middlemen—we pass cost savings on to you. Our transparent pricing model means you know exactly what you're paying for: a custom elevator designed for your space, plus the peace of mind that comes with one-stop service.
Moreover, a well-designed custom elevator adds value to your property. In Saudi Arabia's competitive real estate market, homes with accessible features and thoughtful design elements stand out. It's not just an investment in convenience today—it's an investment in your home's future.
At the end of the day, a home elevator is more than a machine. It's a bridge between floors, a helper for daily life, and a reflection of how you live. When your space is one-of-a-kind, your elevator should be too. Whether you're in Riyadh, Jeddah, or anywhere in the world, we're here to turn your unique layout into a functional, beautiful reality—without the stress of coordinating multiple suppliers or sacrificing on quality.
