At Sesame Access, we are passionate about creating spaces that are accessible, inclusive, and respectful of a building’s heritage. That’s why we’re excited to collaborate with DLG Architects, a leader in architecture and design, to deliver bespoke solutions for improving new and existing buildings and estates across the UK.
Making a building accessible is all about ensuring that every individual, regardless of physical ability, can enter through the same door. Our goal is to break down barriers. Together with DLG, we bring this vision to life by designing, building, and installing tailored wheelchair access lifts that seamlessly integrate with new, heritage and listed buildings.
The Sesame Lift
A Sesame Lift is a revolutionary hydraulic wheelchair lift system, designed and engineered by us, to address the accessibility challenges posed by steps and architectural constraints in listed buildings.
The lift is a hydraulic system that can be installed in historical or Grade I, Grade II*, and Grade II listed buildings, where traditional accessibility solutions like ramps may not be feasible due to listed building regulations or architectural constraints.
At Sesame Access Systems, we have installed our lifts in numerous buildings worldwide, including historical landmarks and important institutions such as the Bank of England, Seattle Space Needle, Sydney Opera House, Kensington Palace, Qatar National Library, and Royal College of Music. We have also received awards for our innovation and design, including The Queen's Award for Enterprise in 2016.
We’re proud to say that Sesame has never been refused listed building consent - this demonstrates the quality and skill behind our designs.
Our collaboration
By partnering with DLG Architects, we provide a comprehensive, one-stop service to clients. DLG’s expertise in building design, combined with our award-winning lift systems, ensures that every project is executed to the highest standard. Whether you have an existing project without an architect or are looking for a broader programme of work, our collaborative approach ensures success from start to finish.
Here’s how we work together:
Initial assessment: DLG prepares an outline design, demonstrating how a Sesame lift can be accommodated without impacting the building’s appearance.
Design: Through drawings, visuals, and reports, we provide a clear solution tailored to the unique challenges of the building.
Installation: DLG and Sesame oversee the construction and installation process, offering reassurance and confidence at every step.
Shared ethos, shared success
Both Sesame Access and DLG are committed to innovation and inclusivity. Together, we ensure no detail is overlooked, and no entrance is inaccessible.
If you’re considering a project, big or small, with or without an architect, let’s discuss how we can succeed. Together, we’ll ensure that accessibility and heritage preservation go hand in hand.
