Two and Three Step Sesame Wheelchair Lift Examples
Scott Polar Research Institute
The Institute is a well-known and long-established center for research into both polar regions. It is part of the University of Cambridge and is a sub-department of the Department of Geography. The Heritage and beauty of the building offered a problem by way of offering wheelchair access to the public. An Invisible Lift would be the only solution.
Sesame installed this sympathetic design that would make this bespoke three step retracting stair system blend into its environment.

St Mary Le Bow Church, Cheapside, London
Founded in or around 1080 as the London headquarters of the archbishops of Canterbury, the medieval church of St Mary-le-Bow survived three devastating collapses before being completely destroyed in the Great Fire of 1666. Rebuilt by Sir Christopher Wren, it was destroyed once more in 1941 but was again rebuilt and re-consecrated in 1964.
The rich history and the beauty of St Mary Le Bow Church demanded this discrete wheelchair lift for its users to gain entry to the Church whilst still being able to admire the architecture.

Nelson Mandela Place, Glasgow
The project at 8 Nelson Mandela Place, Glasgow: a Category A listed prime office building within Glasgow Central Conservation Area. The main office entrance has three steps which prevented DDA compliant access. It was not feasible to construct an external ramp given the historic character of the property.
The solution achieved provides full wheelchair access, obtained Listed Building and Planning Consents, and does not impact on the day to day use of the entrance when the wheelchair platform stairlift is not being operated.
