Passenger Elevator Renovation – Laxmi Vilas Palace, Vadodara

EAST INDIA ELEVATORS LTD. was entrusted with the meticulous renovation of a 408 kg passenger elevator located within Laxmi Vilas Palace, a heritage landmark in Vadodara with over a century of history. Originally installed by Marryat & Scott Ltd., London, this elevator has served palace residents and dignitaries since the early 20th century. The project presented a unique challenge: to modernise and restore the lift’s functionality and safety while preserving its original heritage character and architectural integrity.

Given the palace’s protected status, no new holes, anchors, or structural alterations could be made to the historic fabric of the building. Additionally, the aesthetic charm and craftsmanship of the original elevator including its beautifully aged wood paneling were to be preserved and reinstated using the same wood species and design motifs employed a century ago.

Key Features

Heritage-Sensitive Restoration: Comprehensive renovation executed without creating any new penetrations in the palace structure, honoring the building’s architectural sanctity.
Preservation of Original Materials: The project retained and restored the elevator’s original wood elements; where replacement was necessary, matching wood species and historic detailing were faithfully reproduced to maintain visual continuity.
Upgraded Performance & Safety: Modern elevator technologies, control systems, and safety mechanisms were seamlessly introduced without altering the lift’s historic appearance, ensuring reliable operation compliant with contemporary standards.
Custom Craftsmanship: Skilled artisans and restoration specialists collaborated to replicate and integrate century-old design aesthetics with current performance requirements.
Balanced Innovation: Structural and mechanical upgrades were deployed with precision engineering to respect heritage constraints while enhancing ride quality and operational longevity.
