Each of the lift cabins is surrounded by two concrete walls, and the system’s internal components, like guide rails and counterweights, are enclosed in a stainless steel casing. As a contrast, the passenger cabins’ panoramic glass panels are entirely transparent. The glass panels, which are anchored in the ceiling and the cabin floor, provide an unobstructed view. Even the handrail is freely suspended and only embedded in the stainless steel walls on either side.

The sophisticated drive system technology gives passengers a smooth ride with less noise despite the speed of travel. The elevators glide with no vibrations. This is achieved by regrinding the guide rails for the elevator car and counterweights, thus avoiding any jolts or jerks during the ride. Special door drives ensure that the cabin doors open and close without making any sound. The streamlined roller gantries isolate any noises and prevent the transmission of structure-borne sound to the building.

In addition, the drives in the machine rooms were installed on vibration-isolated frames beneath the shaft so as to avoid further mechanical vibration.

At the various access points, the dark wall surrounds create a stark contrast to the stainless steel doors of the elevator. It was a deliberate decision to dispense with glass doors here so that the view across the entire atrium only reveals itself from the elevator cabin.
