Symmetry Dream Elevator
American Elevator installs the Symmetry Dream, a wood cab luxury home elevator carrying 1,000 lbs across up to six stops, with custom finishes and lighting built into every cab.
A Wood Cab Luxury Home Elevator Built for Multi-Story Living
The Symmetry Dream elevator is a hoistway-based luxury home elevator carrying 1,000 lbs at 40 FPM across up to 6 stops and a 50-foot maximum rise. American Elevator installs the Dream across Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina on Cibes Symmetry’s inline geared drive as standard, with hydraulic available as an option, and every installation meets ASME A17.1 Section 5.3. What separates the Dream from other residential elevators is the interior: four natural wood species, 13 Dream Panel lighting patterns, and COP-integrated brightness control that makes the cab a finished design element from the first ride.

Everything your architect, designer, or contractor needs, from cab dimensions and drive specs to finish options, door configurations, and installation requirements.
Why Architects and Homeowners Choose American Elevator for the Symmetry Dream
Drive System Matched to Your Project
The standard inline geared drive runs on 208/230 VAC, 20 Amp single phase at 2 HP. The hydraulic option steps up to 30 Amp single phase at 3 HP. Drive selection depends on your electrical infrastructure, jurisdiction requirements, and machine room configuration. We work through those decisions before specs are locked.
Built for New Construction, Ready for the Right Retrofit
With 50-foot max travel and 6-stop capacity, the Dream scales into multi-story new builds designed with the hoistway in mind from the start. Retrofit installations are viable when a proper hoistway can be framed, a 6-inch minimum pit (8-inch preferred) can be poured, and 96-inch headroom is achievable.
One Team From Specification to Service
American Elevator doesn’t subcontract. The same state-licensed technicians who plan your custom home elevator install it and stay your service contact afterward. For a high-finish system with custom woodwork and integrated lighting, that continuity matters.
See the Dream Before You Decide
Finish selections and lighting preferences are easier to evaluate in person than on a spec sheet. Our working Suwanee showroom lets homeowners, architects, and designers experience Cibes Symmetry models before committing to a configuration.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Symmetry Dream elevator different from other luxury home elevators?
The Symmetry Dream elevator combines a 1,000 lb rated load and 40 FPM travel speed with interior finish options that many luxury residential elevators don’t offer: four natural wood species that ship unfinished for custom site finishing, 13 Dream Panel lighting patterns with soft edge illumination, and a COP-integrated lighting system that gives passengers direct brightness control. It’s a wood cab elevator that’s engineered to the same ASME A17.1 Section 5.3 standards as every other residential system we install, but the cab finishes put it in a different category from standard models.
Is the Symmetry Dream a good home elevator for aging in place?
Yes. The Dream’s 1,000 lb capacity, automatic controls, and access across up to 6 stops make it a dependable long-term solution for multigenerational homes. For families planning a home elevator for aging in place, the Dream offers full-floor access with interior finishes that feel residential rather than clinical. Safety features include all ASME A17.1 Section 5.3 required equipment for a residential hoistway system.
Can the Symmetry Dream elevator be installed in an existing home?
It can, when the structural conditions are right. The Dream requires a 6-inch minimum pit (8-inch preferred), 96-inch minimum headroom for a standard 84-inch interior car height, and a properly framed hoistway. In homes where those conditions can be met, the Dream is a viable retrofit. We evaluate feasibility before any permitting or construction work begins.
