HomeLift installs the Antera for homeowners who want moving between floors to feel like part of the home, not a mechanical interruption. The ride stays quiet enough that conversation doesn’t pause, guests notice the wood grain and lighting before they notice it’s an elevator, and aging parents move floor to floor without the home feeling retrofitted. As an NAEC-affiliated Cibes dealer, HomeLift orders every Antera direct from the manufacturer and installs it with its own crew.
An Antera home elevator installed by HomeLift earns its place by solving a real problem.
The Antera earns its place in an architect’s spec through its dual installation strategy, machine-room-less engineering, and design-forward interior program. HomeLift joins architects, designers, and contractors at the first project meeting, then supplies hoistway dimensions and full documentation during planning. The team reviewing the drawings installs the elevator.
Every resource needed to plan, specify, or present the Antera is available below.
The same standard of care follows every Antera from your first finish decision to years of ownership.
The people who meet with you install the Antera and care for it after.
Permitting, inspection, and code compliance are managed on every Antera project, so nothing becomes your responsibility to track.
Once commissioned, service and maintenance requests go to the same HomeLift team that installed the Antera, not a call center.
A traditional residential elevator gets chosen to fit a space. The Antera gets chosen to fit a design. It runs on a permanent magnet synchronous motor for quiet operation with no machine room, adds a 15.6-inch touchscreen for lighting, ventilation, and floor settings, and offers wood grain finishes, lighting patterns, and Forbo flooring a standard home elevator doesn’t. HomeLift specifies it as part of the design instead of fitting it in afterward.
The Antera is one of several luxury elevator models HomeLift installs, and the right one depends on the project. The Ascenda is shaftless, built for two-story homes with no pit or machine room. The Cibes Air is a modular glass lift suited to retrofits, built around a cylindrical glass cab. The Symmetry Dream and Symmetry Asterix offer a traditional cab with custom finish options inside a standard hoistway. The Antera is the full architectural platform, with a site-built hoistway or modular enclosure, up to six stops, and the deepest interior finish program of the group.
Yes, though it is rarely the only reason someone chooses it. Wide door openings, a smooth ride, and simple touchscreen controls support long-term mobility, while the architectural interior means the elevator reads as a design feature instead of medical equipment. HomeLift plans hoistway placement early so it serves the household now and stays useful as needs change.
A site-built hoistway fits homes where the shaft already exists or an architect is drawing one into masonry, concrete, or framed construction. A factory-supplied modular enclosure fits new construction and open-plan designs, arriving as an engineered unit that keeps structural coordination simple. The cab, ride, and controls stay identical; only how the Antera meets the building changes.
Interior profile colors include Gothic Graphite Black, Glacial Slate Grey, Organic Signal White, Oriental Pale Brown, Oriental Oyster White, and Oriental Grey Beige. Natural wood grain finishes come in Terrace Flow Dark, Terrace Flow Light, Ripple Trace Dark, Ripple Trace Light, and Ripple Trace White. Additional selections include illuminated acrylic design panels, satin stainless steel handrails, a mirrored ceiling with integrated lighting, and an optional integrated premium speaker system.
It depends on the path. On new construction, the Antera gets scheduled into the builder’s timeline and usually lands in the finishing phase. Retrofits and site-built hoistways take longer because of the structural work, and in older Tennessee and Alabama homes that can mean working around conditions the original build never anticipated.
Safety is built in: light-curtain door protection, real-time operational monitoring, an integrated emergency alarm and communication system, battery-powered emergency lowering, and a manual lowering crank with pit safety devices. The platform meets ASME A17.1 residential code, and HomeLift handles permitting and inspection across Tennessee and Alabama as part of every install.
