The Cibes Antera Residential Elevator
An architectural home elevator built for residences where every finish decision matters and the elevator is no exception.
Where an Elevator Becomes Part of the Home
Most elevators are installed into a home. The Antera is designed into one. Built for luxury residences, penthouses, and architect-led custom builds, the Cibes Antera transforms vertical travel from a mechanical requirement into an integrated part of the home’s architecture. A permanent magnet synchronous motor delivers exceptionally quiet, smooth, and energy-efficient travel without a dedicated machine room. The result is an elevator that moves the way the rest of a finished luxury home feels: seamlessly, and without interrupting anything.
Step inside and the experience speaks for itself. The 15.6″ smart control panel adjusts cabin lighting, ambiance, and ventilation with a single touch. An optional integrated BOSE speaker system means the cab feels like a considered room in the home rather than a mechanical enclosure between floors. Clean architectural lines, warm material palettes, and softly illuminated interior lighting make every trip between floors something worth noticing. For homeowners who have been deliberate about every other finish decision in their home, the Antera holds up to that standard without qualification.

A Home Elevator Crafted for Florida’s Most Refined Residences
The Antera’s interior is where it distinguishes itself most clearly. Six curated profile colors pair with five natural wood grain finishes across the Terrace Flow and Ripple Trace collections. The feature wall carries softly illuminated edge lighting with 13 selectable pattern styles. Forbo premium flooring, satin stainless steel handrails, mirrored ceiling options with integrated lighting, and coordinated frame finishes complete a cab where every selection reads as architectural material, not elevator trim.
The Antera installs within a traditional site-built hoistway for renovations and architect-designed shafts, or specifies a factory-engineered modular enclosure for new builds, open-plan layouts, and glass elevator applications. Same ride quality, same premium interior, same control system across both paths. Full hoistway documentation is available during the design phase, not after.

The Antera Belongs in Your Home. Let’s Talk About How.
Access Lifts Florida installs the Cibes Antera across Florida’s coast, working with homeowners, architects, and builders to bring this elevator into the state’s most refined residential projects. The earlier you bring us into the conversation, the smoother the outcome.
A Refined Elevator Built to Be Specified. Here’s How We Support That Process.
The Antera earns its place in an architect’s specification. Its dual installation strategy, machine-room-less engineering, and design-forward interior selections make it a credible answer for luxury residential projects where the elevator needs to be as considered as everything else in the home. When architects specify the Antera, they are specifying a product that contributes to the design narrative of the project rather than sitting outside of it. Access Lifts Florida brings that same standard to the installation.
We partner with architects, designers, and general contractors from the earliest project stages, identifying the correct installation strategy for the design intent, supplying hoistway dimensions and full technical documentation during the planning phase, and coordinating directly with the GC to keep the elevator scope aligned with the broader construction timeline. The earlier we are involved, the more the finished installation reflects the original design vision. Interior finish selections can be worked through in person at our Hollywood showroom with the homeowner and their design team.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Cibes Antera
How is the Cibes Antera different from a standard residential elevator?
The Antera is an architectural elevator platform built for luxury residences where design performance is as important as mechanical performance. It uses a permanent magnet synchronous motor for exceptionally quiet and smooth operation without a machine room, includes a 15.6″ touchscreen control panel with adjustable lighting and personalized floor settings, and offers interior materials, lighting pattern options, and premium Forbo flooring not available on standard residential elevator lines. It is designed to integrate with the home’s architecture from the planning stage forward rather than being fitted into a finished space after the fact.
What are the two installation strategies and how do I choose between them?
The Antera installs one of two ways. The site-built hoistway strategy is the correct path for renovations, modernization projects, and architect-designed shafts in concrete, masonry, or framed construction. The factory-supplied modular enclosure system is designed for new residential construction, open-plan layouts, glass elevator concepts, and projects where simplified structural coordination is a priority. Ride quality, interior materials, and the control system are identical across both paths. Access Lifts Florida evaluates the project scope and identifies the right installation strategy during the early planning conversation.
What interior and finish options are available for the Antera cab?
Interior profile colors include Gothic Graphite Black, Glacial Slate Grey, Organic Signal White, Oriental Pale Brown, Oriental Oyster White, and Oriental Grey Beige. Natural wood grain finishes are available in Terrace Flow Dark, Terrace Flow Light, Ripple Trace Dark, Ripple Trace Light, and Ripple Trace White.

The feature wall includes softly illuminated edge lighting with 13 selectable pattern styles. Premium Forbo flooring is available in seven colorways.
What does the 15.6" touchscreen smart control panel include?
The Antera’s smart COP provides control over adjustable cabin lighting, personalized floor naming, elevator status display, ventilation, an integrated security lock, audible alerts, and optional music integration.
