Accessing The Dome Second Floor With Rail Chairs, Stair Lifts or Elevators
If you do not want to access the dome second floor by walking up the stairs, you could install a rail chair or a lift or an elevator. This way you can easily access the second floor rooms. American Ingenuity has incorporated elevators and lifts into several domes. Each device has its own specs. Of course the main concern is the height the unit requires above the second floor. It must be within the dome. Therefore the unit is usually placed near the center of the dome. You will find there are several options for residential use that are more or less self contained and the restrictions are minimal. Bottom line, please select a unit and provide American Ingenuity with the specs and we will incorporate it into your floor plan design.
