In residential developments, elevator performance directly impacts the daily experience of residents. By combining high-quality design with connected elevator technology, KONE helped create a solution that supports accessibility, comfort and long-term building value.
The result is a vertical transportation solution that not only meets today's expectations for reliability and user experience but also supports the evolving needs of modern residential buildings through digital readiness and future service capabilities. Through this project, KONE demonstrates how connected elevator technology can contribute to both architectural quality and operational performance in contemporary residential developments.
To meet these requirements, KONE supplied a KONE MonoSpace® 500 DX elevator, part of the KONE DX Class range of digitally connected elevators. Built on a digital platform, DX elevators combine smooth people flow with built-in connectivity, creating opportunities for future services, enhanced maintenance capabilities and ongoing building modernization.
The elevator was customized to complement the building’s contemporary design identity. It features a cabin and doors made of stainless steel in a carbon black finish with an anti-fingerprint coating. High-quality finishes, bright interior lighting, and a smooth ride contribute to a comfortable user experience, while seamlessly integrating with the building’s overall architectural concept.
Beyond aesthetics, the connected DX platform supports a future-ready building environment. Digital connectivity enables access to smart building services and creates a foundation for proactive maintenance and continuous performance optimization throughout the lifecycle of the elevator.
Modern residential buildings are expected to deliver more than attractive architecture. Residents increasingly value accessibility, convenience and a seamless living experience, making vertical transportation an important part of the overall building design.
Located in Kalamaria, Thessaloniki, this contemporary residential development combines elegant common areas, carefully selected materials and a clean architectural aesthetic. Rising 34,5 metres across 9 floors, the building required an elevator solution that would complement the architectural vision while providing reliable transportation for residents and visitors every day.
