In Danderyd, a prosperous suburb north of Stockholm, Sweden, a white three-story house with soft shapes sits on top of a hill. The family Luciani found the site to build their dream home and the choice of architect became Pål Ross. “I think Pål Ross won my wife and me over when he told me that the philosophy behind his architecture is to live in a work of art”, says Robert Luciani.

The villa that has everything - including a home lift
Family Luciani filled the house with features for a home long time to come.
To live in a work of art
Build with all the features
But for the Lucianis, the new house was not as much about design as about function. “When you build a house like this today, you build it with all the features – swimming pool, large living areas, terraces, garage space and the latest technology. But for us as a family it was also important to have a gym, cinema and crafts room”, Luciani says.
With Ross architecture the family got a stone house with curved shapes and large panoramic windows.
“It never occurrred to me that the house should have an elevator. Even though it´s a premium house, it just wasn´t in my plan”, describes Robert.
Function and sustainability
Architect Pål Ross always include a lift in his project. It is about function and sustainability – to be able to decide for yourself when you want to move, not because you no longer have the energy to carry the grocery bags or yourself up the stairs.
But it was only when Robert and his wife got to see the design of the Aritco HomeLift that the couple agreed to include an elevator.
“We use the lift more than I thought we would do. It has proved to be absolutly indispensable to use when we have been shopping. And when we have guests, everyone uses it”.
