Mr & Mrs Curling integrated an Evolifts Premium Home Lift into their historic listed property in Winchester’s magnificent Peninsula Square. This high quality home lift was specified by architect Jason Murphy of Radley House, as a critical element of a complete property redesign, to provide everyday comfort and support to the couple.
The Peninsula Square site has played a pivotal role in Winchester’s history since Roman times. Captured by Oliver Cromwell during the civil war, designed as a ‘Versailles-style palace for Charles II by Sir Christopher Wren, and commissioned as a military barracks during the reign of Queen Victoria, it remains an ancient monument and conservation area, and home to military museums.
Mr Curling commented, “This is the second property that we have incorporated a lift into. Planning permission for our lift was granted as part of the renovation plans and was not contentious in any way.”
The couple chose the versatile and customisable Premium Home Lift which features a large platform to serve the property’s three floors. Fire doors and a full height mirror were specified options.
Mrs Curling added: “We chose the Premium Home Lift because its platform size would be sufficient for a wheelchair, should one be needed in the future. Even now, we’re extremely happy with our choice. I use our lift daily and it provides much comfort to me following knee surgery. My husband is very pleased to have a lift at his disposal when carrying luggage too.”
