Keep every floor of your Tamarama home within easy reach
A home elevator lets you use your whole house, today and for many years to come.
If your Tamarama home has two or three levels, the stairs decide a lot about your day. Where you sleep, where you cook and where the family meets all depend on how easily you move between floors. A PVE home elevator takes that question away. You press a button and ride, with your hands free for a basket, a bag or a cup of tea.
A PVE elevator is self-supporting. In plain words, it stands on your finished floor and carries its own weight. Standard installations need no pit, no hoistway and no separate machine room, so you do not lose a room or spend weeks living with builders.
The round cabin is open to view on every side. It can sit near the stairs, in a hallway or by the living area without boxing the space in. For a house where every room already earns its keep, that matters.
Whether you are planning ahead, helping a parent or building something new, the next step is simple. Explore PVE Elevator Models below, then ask for a free quote for your home.
The cleanest home elevator on the market.
The elevator runs on everyday household power and needs no oils or gases, so it stays clean and quiet in your Tamarama home. If you want to pair it with rooftop power, a solar panel package is available.
- 01Air lifts you up
A vacuum pump at the top of the unit changes the air pressure and the cab rises.
- 02Gravity brings you down
Air is let back in and the cab descends. No oils, hydraulic fluid or lubricants.
- 03Runs on household current
Low power draw, so it works alongside the solar arrays many homes now have.
The most sustainable home elevator available. Anywhere.
- Pneumatic technology
- No shaft, pit or machine room
- Installed in 2 to 3 days

Four models. One for every home.
For a Tamarama home where floor space is tight, the PVE30 is the compact choice for one rider. The PVE37 and The Cube carry two people, which suits a couple riding together. If someone in your family uses a wheelchair, start with the PVE52, the only model marketed as wheelchair accessible.

Safe, simple and made to be seen.
Here is why a PVE air-driven elevator suits a Tamarama home, whether you are planning ahead, caring for someone or building new.
No pit, no shaft, no machine room
The elevator is self-supporting and stands on your existing floor. In standard installations you keep your rooms and your layout, which matters in a home where space is precious.
Open views all around
The panoramic cabin is open to the room on every side. It sits in a hallway or by the stairs and looks like part of the design, not a closed box in your home.
Safe descent in a power cut
If the power fails while you are riding, the cabin comes down to the lowest level at a safe speed and the door unlocks. You step out on the ground floor, with no one needing to rescue you.
Quick install, little disruption
After site prep, the install typically takes 2 to 3 days. You can stay in your Tamarama home the whole time, and life gets back to normal fast.
Low maintenance and clean
There are no harmful oils or gases to manage. Your dealer sets a simple service schedule, with regular inspections, so the elevator keeps running smoothly for years.
From the manufacturer
PVE has designed and manufactured air-driven elevators since 2002. Each one is assembled in the USA and factory-tested in Miami, Florida, then installed by a dealer trained at our Miami facility.
Real PVE installations.
What homeowners say.
Real words from families who added a PVE elevator to the home they love.
We are not age-limited with the elevator. At any age, it's like living on a single floor. We've been here 5 years and it's never needed anything. The elevator has been flawless.
My house was built in 1925 and it was hard to get something to fit in with the décor of my home, but the PVE fit in perfectly. I am thrilled with the design, engineering, and reliability of the elevator by PVE.
It turns a 2-story into a ranch concept! It's for the ease & access but also for the resale. I think the investment is worth it!
What happens during installation?
Your installation plan should cover the work before the elevator arrives as well as assembly and testing.
- Review the home
Confirm the layout, the people using the elevator and the levels it needs to serve.
- Confirm the model and location
Check dimensions, landing access and the requirements for the selected configuration.
- Prepare the site
Complete the agreed structural and electrical work and arrange the required permits and inspections.
- Install and hand over
Assemble and test the elevator, complete required approvals, and explain operation and ongoing care.
Timing depends on site preparation, the selected model and local requirements.

Questions Tamarama buyers ask before they order
We are still in our thirties. Is it too early to think about a lift?
No, it is often the best time. Many Tamarama homeowners are younger than average, and planning ahead lets you pick the spot, the model and the timing calmly. If you are renovating or building, you can design the space around the elevator now. Later, when knees or a surgery make stairs hard, the house is already ready. A free consultation shows you what would suit your home today.
Where in my house could the elevator actually go?
It can usually go in a hallway, beside the stairs or near your living area. The cabin is round and open on every side, so it does not close in a room. It needs a level floor to stand on and the right height between floors. Every Tamarama home is laid out a little differently, so your dealer visits to find the best spot and confirm the elevator suits your house.
Do we have to knock down walls or dig under the house?
No, in standard installations you do not dig a pit or build a shaft. The elevator stands on your existing floor and carries its own weight. The main work is usually a neat opening in the floor above, or a landing built beside the cabin. That keeps your home livable and protects the rooms you have paid for. Your dealer explains exactly what your house needs during the visit.
Will I need approval before the lift goes in my Tamarama home?
It depends on your home, and your dealer will help you find out. Approval needs can differ with the type of house and the work involved, such as cutting into a floor. Your dealer talks you through what may apply before you commit, so there are no surprises later. Timing can vary, so it helps to start the conversation early. Request a Free Consultation to begin.
What if the power drops while someone is riding?
The cabin comes down safely on its own. If the power fails while the elevator is moving, it lowers to the bottom floor at a safe speed and the door unlocks so the rider can step out. No one needs to climb in or call for help. For a family caring for a parent at home, that brings real peace of mind on every ride, day or night.
I look after my dad, who uses a wheelchair. Which model should we see?
Start with the PVE52. It is the only PVE model marketed as wheelchair accessible, and it has room for a rider and a carer. It is not ADA compliant, and not every wheelchair fits, so we ask you to ride one at an authorized dealer with your dad's chair first. If he walks with some help instead, a two-person model may also suit you.
How soon after ordering could we be using it?
Once your site work is done, the install typically takes 2 to 3 days. Before that comes the home visit, any approvals your house needs, and the prep work, such as a floor opening. Those steps vary from home to home in Tamarama. Your dealer gives you a clear plan with each step in order, so you know when the crew arrives and when you can ride.
Who looks after the lift once it is installed?
Your PVE authorized dealer does. They install the elevator and set a service schedule for it, with an inspection at least every six months. The elevator is low maintenance and uses no harmful oils or gases, so these visits are simple. PVE works through more than 250 authorized dealers across 5 continents, all trained at our Miami facility, so you deal with people who know the product well.

Tamarama is a young suburb. Its median age sits well below that of many places in New South Wales, and only a small share of residents are over 65. So if you are reading this, you may not need an elevator today. You may be thinking about the next twenty years in a home you love.
That is a good time to plan. Across New South Wales, the share of people aged 65 and over is among the highest of any state. If you intend to stay in your Tamarama home as you age, adding an elevator while you are fit lets you choose the spot, the model and the timing on your own terms, not in a hurry after a fall or a surgery.
Plan the elevator while you are well, and the house is ready when you need it.
Caring for someone at home is also part of life here. A real share of Tamarama residents give unpaid help to a person with a disability, a health condition or the effects of old age. If that is you, an elevator can make the daily work lighter. You can bring a parent down for meals, take laundry up without the climb, and keep the person you care for in the middle of family life.
Most homes here hold small households, often a family of a few people. That shapes the model you choose. A single rider who wants the smallest footprint may pick the PVE30. A couple who ride together often look at the PVE37 or The Cube. If a wheelchair is part of your plans, your dealer will start the conversation with the PVE52 and invite you to ride one first to confirm your chair fits.
Homes in Tamarama are a serious investment, and many owners carry large mortgages. You will want the work to respect that. Because a PVE elevator needs no pit or shaft in standard installations, the build work is lighter than for many traditional lifts. In many cases it means cutting a neat opening through the floor above, or building a landing, rather than reshaping rooms. An elevator can also make a multi-level home appeal to more buyers later, though no one can promise a set gain in value.
Before anything is ordered, your authorized dealer visits your home. They check that the floor where the elevator will stand is level, look at the space between floors and the ceiling height, and confirm your power supply. They will also talk you through any approvals your home may need. Every site is different, so this visit is what confirms the elevator suits your house.
Once the site work is done, the install itself is quick. The crew typically needs 2 to 3 days in your home. You keep living there while they work, and when they leave, the elevator is ready to ride. If you would like to see how your home would work, Request a Free Consultation and we will arrange the visit.
