Symmetry LULA Elevator Installed in Downtown Austin Restaurant

Design That Fits the Restaurant Environment
Restaurants often require accessibility solutions that integrate smoothly with the surrounding layout and atmosphere. For this downtown Austin project, our partner Home Elevator of Texas installed a Symmetry LULA elevator inside a popular vegan restaurant, creating a solution that supports accessibility while complementing the interior design of the space.
The finished installation features a black textured elevator enclosure paired with glass doors and warm brass accents, creating a modern look that aligns naturally with the restaurant’s aesthetic.
Architectural Details
Several custom elements were incorporated to ensure the elevator complemented the restaurant’s interior.
Key design details include:
- Black-painted elevator cab
- Glass car and hoistway doors
- Black door frames with antique brass plated mesh
- Custom brushed brass hall call stations
- Black car operating panel and handrail
- Walls prepared for mirrors to enhance the interior
Together, these elements create a balanced contrast of dark finishes, glass transparency, and brass accents, helping the elevator feel like a natural extension of the restaurant design.
Integrated Within the Staircase
One of the most unique aspects of this installation is its placement.
The Symmetry LULA elevator is positioned within the central staircase, allowing guests to move between levels without interrupting the overall layout of the restaurant.
The elevator serves two stops, with entry and exit from the same side for intuitive navigation.
This thoughtful placement allows accessibility to exist seamlessly within the architecture of the space.
Accessibility for Hospitality Spaces
For restaurants and hospitality environments, accessibility is essential for welcoming every guest.
A LULA elevator provides a practical solution when a full passenger elevator is not required but dependable vertical access is still needed.
This installation ensures that guests can comfortably access multiple levels of the restaurant while maintaining the atmosphere and flow of the space.
