Scandinavian Glass Elevator in a Saigon Villa | Cibes Lift Asia

Founded in 1947 in Sweden, Cibes Lift specializes in high-end home lift solutions. Nestled in the quiet residential enclave of My Phu, District 7, Ho Chi Minh City, this newly built three-story villa sought an approach that combined design and long-term accessibility. For the homeowner, now in her 60s, integrating a home elevator was a key priority from the outset, ensuring the residence would support both comfort and mobility over time. After evaluating several options, she chose the Glass Cabin Home Lift - V90 Galaxy by Cibes Lift to bring that vision to life.

Installed during the construction phase, the Cibes V90 Galaxy integrates seamlessly into the home’s layout, positioned adjacent to the staircase without requiring a machine room. Its compact footprint allows it to coexist with the spatial distribution of the villa while maintaining the architectural integrity of the space. Equipped with safety features that meet European standards, the lift ensures accessible circulation for elderly residents and children, offering security and comfort.

Beyond its practical role, the elevator introduces a sculptural element into the home. The Origami-patterned shaft panels add visual texture and a sense of movement, while the V90 Galaxy’s integrated multi-color LED lighting system creates a dynamic interplay of light that evolves throughout the day. “At my age, having this lift makes moving around so much easier—and it looks beautiful too. All my friends compliment it when they visit,” Ms. Mai reflects. The result is a spatial addition that transcends utility, contributing to the atmosphere of the home while addressing present and future mobility needs.
