Traditionally, fully automatic passenger lifts require a specially constructed lift shaft on an exterior load bearing structural wall - but the Stannah FX is different.
Stannah FX - the versatile passenger lift
FX means a Stannah Lift supplied in its own structure to fit almost anywhere within a building.
The stunning divided staircase ascends from both sides of the hallway around the lift where it joins to make a grand entrance to the retail floor.
The lift is flanked by a double display of vibrant suspended lighting, adding dramatic effect to first impressions of the store interior.
The two stop Stannah 8 person lift features a glass shaft with through entrances, maximising the light and enabling a view of the staircase through the shaft, when the car is on the first floor level.
The lift model is the Stannah FX, a structure-supported lift that does not need the support of an outside wall, so can be positioned virtually anywhere within a building.
The lift and decorative stair balustrades are finished in a matching soft grey that ensures the lift structure remains sympathetic to its surroundings.
The Old Post Office has been superbly converted, retaining all the Georgian building's original features.
The interior design within the Jigsaw store is unique to its location.
The spacious, decadent shopping floor has an imaginative layout with frequent references to its origins, like the huge round rugs featuring old 'penny' designs in a range of colours that decorate the vast wooden floor.
Display stands are trimmed with a modern take on Georgian print that perfectly compliments their surroundings.
Huge couches, a baby grand piano, lamps, feature lighting and flowers all add to the ambiance of a grand setting that fabulously reflects the history of the building.
Stannah were delighted to be involved with this prestigious project and wish Jigsaw every success with the new store located in one of the UK's most popular shopping cities, Bath. Request a free brochure from Stannah ...
