In a residential building, the passengers want to reach the required floor quickly, comfortably and safely. The tenants want to use elevators that are easy to use, nice-looking; the equipment needs to function quietly, especially at night. The architects who design the building need to optimize the available space and integrate elevators in their designs. Also the building owners have their requirements: they follow the total lifecycle cost, maintainability and energy consumption of the building.

KONE elevator solutions are designed to serve and meet all interest groups’ needs. The solutions for new residential buildings are based on either the KONE MonoSpace® or the KONE MiniSpace™ platform. The choice depends mainly on the size of building and the passenger flow. Both solutions are among the most environmentally sound elevator concepts in the industry and incorporate KONE´s commitment to reuse and recycle as many products and components as possible.
Thanks to pre-engineered or tailored car designs and alternative door systems, both of the platforms offer a consistent visual offering and seamlessly integrate into a variety of buildings.

The products that are based on each of these platforms comply with the requirements of EN81-70, the new European harmonized code for improving the use of elevators for people with disabilities.
