Explore the intricate details of elevator plans, reflected ceiling plans, and interior elevations in this thorough examination of architectural and design processes. The article delves into material callouts, handrail details, base details and more, providing valuable insights into the intricate work involved in these designs.
Key Insights
- The article demonstrates a detailed walkthrough of enlarged elevator plans, interior elevations, and reflected ceiling plans, highlighting the importance of each section and detail such as the head, jam, and sill.
- It illustrates how architects and interior designers collaborate using base drawing files provided by the elevator manufacturer to enhance the interior design of the elevator.
- The article also underscores how detailed drawings accurately convey the intended look and feel of the elevator's interior, ensuring that the construction documents align with the design vision.
Note: These materials offer prospective students a preview of how our classes are structured. Students enrolled in this course will receive access to the full set of materials, including video lectures, project-based assignments, and instructor feedback.
Let's look at the enlarged elevator plans, reflected ceiling plans, and elevations. You can see here I have a plan. Here I have the reflected ceiling plan.
There's the callout right here for the interior elevations. And here they are, one, two, the third, and the fourth. On the interior elevations, you'll see material callouts.
And here's the legend that details that. We have head, jam, and sill details. So here we are at the head of the door, the jam, and the sill.
We have handrail details. The handrail details are referenced here and here. And we have a base detail, which is referenced here.
So let's just zoom in. Usually the elevator provider provides the architect the base drawing files, and then the architect or the interior designer will enhance that. So again, we're seeing the references to the different details on this sheet.

We're seeing a section that's referenced through the door. We're seeing that all of the panels are equally spaced. There is an actual dimension over here.
Again, the reference to the base, section through the jam, more detail references. This is including a section through the ceiling. Again, at the jam, material callouts, the head, jam, and sill details.
There will be an enlarged image of the actual control panel materials. We're showing sections for different components. So different sections for the handrail.
This is a detail at a separation between different panels. Enlarged reflected ceiling plan. Again, we have the keynotes from the legend.
There is a detail at the jam, a section. You can see here the glides upon which the elevator rides. We have an enlarged base detail.
You can see the metal that's being assembled. We have floor tile. We have blocking, which is back in here.
There's the base facing. There's a cleat back in here. And here's the steel panel and the backing.
Here's the handrail. There is a code requirement of an inch and a half between the handrail itself, inch and a half open space, and then the wall. You can see again the metal assembly that's purchased to go into the elevator.
Here's the sill detail. This is the separator between the two panels. Head detail.
Jam detail. Another handrail detail. So it really is interesting to see that the elevator manufacturer provides base information.
The architect and the interior designer work together to outfit what the elevator looks like on the inside. And then we have these detailed drawings that very accurately convey the information that needs to be represented so that the look and feel desired by the architect and the interior designer are conveyed in the construction documents. So let's go on to our next drawing.
