Top Machine Roomless (MRL) Elevator Types for Small Villas & Duplexes

The days of luxurious interior and exterior finishes as the starting point for home comfort are long gone. Comfort has now expanded to include the ease with which residents can use their homes. As the number of people using their homes is expected to increase, there has been a surge in interest in elevators for residential use, but not necessarily a resurgence of the classic, bulky designs that were typically used.

As space planning in a residential context is of paramount importance, there are many reasons to consider the implementation of an MRL (machine room-less) elevator, including their efficiency, elegance and convenience. MRL elevators are specifically designed for the residential market, and as a result, there are no structural modifications required in a residential setting to accommodate their installation.

Why is Machine Roomless Elevator Use Important to Small Villas and Duplexes?

Machine room-less elevators eliminate the need for a separate machine room, which was standard for commercial elevators. The motor and control equipment were traditionally installed in machine rooms above the shaft or on the roof of the building. In a residential environment, it is often quite challenging to allocate additional space above the shaft for these machines.
The MRL elevator system incorporates the motor and controls within the elevator shaft itself. Because of their compact design, MRL elevator systems can fit easily into residential floor plans. In the case of duplex and small villa floor plans, the incorporation of MRL elevator systems will make a significant difference in the overall functionality of the home.

Why is Space Utilization Important in Small Villas and Duplexes?

Unlike commercial buildings that are designed to accommodate business activities and customers, residential homes are designed for personal lifestyles and usage. The square foot is a valuable commodity in every home. Adding an elevator to your home should improve the quality of your everyday life, not take up floor space.

Homeowners benefit from machine-room-less (MRL) elevators because MRL eliminates the need for a separate machine room; MRL preserves terrace and roof space; MRL enhances interior design potential through flexibility.

Therefore, MRL elevators are particularly beneficial for duplex homes or compact villa-style living, where the need to optimize available space is paramount.

Fitting Rather than Changing the Home

One major benefit of an MRL elevator is that MRL home elevators integrate seamlessly into new construction and existing homes without requiring:

• No dedicated machine room
• Less than normal pit depth
• No structural additions/overhead supports

The resultant lower level of disruption can often be an advantage for many homeowners wishing to install an elevator in an existing villa or duplex.

Comfortable and Quiet for Regular Use

Many residential elevators are used much differently than elevators found in commercial buildings. Residential elevators need to operate quietly, smoothly, and comfortably, particularly if living and sleeping areas in a building are situated immediately adjacent to an elevator.

To achieve these benefits, MRL elevators are designed with:

• A smooth acceleration and deceleration curve
• Less vibration than any other type of elevator
• Quiet operation

All of these characteristics help to ensure that MRL elevators are seamlessly integrated into the life of a homeowner, becoming part of the overall ambience of a home rather than creating a mechanical distraction.

Ability to Complement Your Style

Visual openness is very important in small villas or duplexes. Massively constructed elevators disrupt the overall appearance and feel of any area.

Elite’s MRL (Machine Room Less) Elevators incorporate:

• Sleek, sophisticated profiles
• Premium materials used throughout
• Beautiful cabin finishes and glass options

This allows you to have an elevator that will enhance your interior rather than compete with it. Instead of being an annoyance in your home, the elevator will feel like an extension of your furniture.

Residential Energy Efficiency

MRL Elevators are designed to work efficiently by only using power when operated. This makes them ideally suited for the way most residential traffic flows, with usage occurring throughout the day and not being constant.

As a homeowner, this means:

• Smarter energy usage
• More efficient daily operation
• A system that aligns with modern, responsible living

Family Safety

Family safety is always an essential consideration when selecting a home elevator, especially within multi-level villas and duplex homes where the elderly and children may utilize the elevator on a regular basis.
