Whisper-Quiet: The Sound of Luxury

The Challenge

One Astor, a new luxury residential tower in Manhattan, demanded an elevator system that offered more than just transportation; it had to be part of the exclusive living experience. The primary requirements were near-silent operation, a vibration-free ride for ultimate comfort, and high-speed performance to serve the 50-story building efficiently.

 

The Schneider Solution

We provided a state-of-the-art solution featuring our premier residential elevators. Advanced acoustic dampening and active roller guide technology were employed to achieve a whisper-quiet ride. Each cabin was finished with custom materials selected by the project’s interior design firm, including book-matched wood veneers and polished bronze fixtures.
