In Florida, US, XEL has delivered a one-of-a-kind bronze round elevator that pairs a seamless panoramic experience with advanced engineering concealed behind an elegant architectural finish. Designed as both a functional vertical transport solution and a statement piece, the system demonstrates how precision craftsmanship and innovative mechanics can coexist within a refined, contemporary aesthetic.

A Panoramic Experience, Defined by Detail

The defining feature of this elevator is its circular, panoramic design—created to offer uninterrupted views and a smooth, quiet ride. Every element was developed to preserve the clean geometry of the round cabin and the visual openness expected of a premium panoramic system, while ensuring a robust, dependable performance in daily use.

 

Handcrafted Bronze Cladding as an Architectural Finish

A key aspect of the delivered system is its bronze cladding, produced and installed with meticulous accuracy. The handcrafted panels were aligned and fitted to achieve a consistent, high-end finish, while maintaining the precision tolerances required for a panoramic elevator. The result is a distinctive exterior presence—luxurious, warm, and timeless—without compromising functionality.

Engineering Innovation with a Hidden Drive System

To maintain the elevator’s refined visual language, the system incorporates an innovative hidden an remote drive configuration. By concealing critical mechanical elements within the available space, the design preserves the elevator’s sleek appearance while still delivering the reliability and performance expected from a bespoke installation. This balance—minimal visual interruption with maximum technical capability—is central to XEL’s approach.

Delivered, Commissioned, and in Use

The elevator has been fully commissioned and put into operation. Now in use, it stands as a complete delivered system—built to perform consistently while elevating the surrounding architecture.

A Signature Example of XEL Craftsmanship

This Florida installation reflects XEL’s core philosophy: bespoke design, engineered precision, and uncompromising execution. From the panoramic concept to the bronze finish and concealed drive solution, the project illustrates how an elevator can become both an integrated building element and an iconic feature in its own right.
