The Opportunity
With the UK’s ageing population continuing to grow, the demand for homes that support accessible and adaptable living is expected to increase significantly. Rectory Homes recognised an opportunity to meet this evolving need through The Crescent, an exclusive collection of three-storey homes in Thame. Designed by Yiangou Architects, the homes combine high-quality materials and architectural detailing with a focus on long-term usability. By considering accessibility as part of the original design, Rectory aimed to create properties that would appeal to a broader range of buyers while adding long-term value and desirability.
The Solution
To support this vision, Rectory Homes partnered with Gartec to integrate the Aritco HomeLift Compact into selected properties at The Crescent. The lift was chosen for its compact design, discreet integration, and ability to provide seamless access across all three floors. Gartec worked closely with the developer throughout the design and construction process, helping determine the most suitable solution and ensuring a smooth installation. The result is a lift that complements the overall aesthetic of the homes while providing a practical feature that enhances everyday living and future adaptability.
The Result
The inclusion of the Aritco HomeLift Compact has become a valuable feature of the development, supporting both accessibility and market appeal. According to Rectory Homes, the lifts have added value to the properties and provided a unique selling point for prospective buyers. The homes now offer the opportunity to enjoy three-storey living without compromising on convenience, comfort, or future accessibility. By incorporating lifts into the design, Rectory Homes has created properties that can continue to meet the changing needs of homeowners and their families for years to come while standing out in a competitive housing market.
