The Lifts at Glenkerry house were part modernised by Otis around 5 years ago. They are fitted with new Otis Mcs220 controllers but a lot of the original Express lifts have been retained including main motor governor doors and cam. This is why it still feels original but why along with buttons and speech the levelling is a lot smoother.
The way the first building is design Balfron and most of Erno's designs that I've seen have the lifts and staircases in a separate part of the building / service shaft accessed by corridors. This means no space in the residential part is wasted. The design although strange was used by Richard rogers on the lloyds of london building and pompedu centre in france. All the services in these buildings are external to the main core i.e lifts toilets etc. Lloyds has now gained listed status
that is true and this building indeed is rather unique but I don't like that only each third floor has a direct connection to the lifts. And the building section with lifts seem to have unused space. The AfE-Tower in Frankfurt (Main) (now closed and prepared for demolition) has floors without any connection to a lift. I've also now seem some Dutch buildings which remind me a lot to Brownfield Estate.
This is a block of marionettes (flats with multiple floors, like a stack of houses on top of each other). So it is only necessary for the lift to stop at every third floor where the corridors and peoples front doors are.
Lifts in the first building only stop at each third floor, ah well. I'm not really a fan of that :-) Also the lift shaft building wastes a lot of space at every floor where the lifts don't stop at (and where there is no service area), ah well. An expensive experimental architecture which even isn't efficient and also not very comfortable. Maybe they made the lift shaft at the library with glass walls so that it just fits better to the building exterior and didn't care about the lift then.

Why the 1st lift makes a horrible noise when the door moves and what Brand is the last lift??
@sammycalizario1, the last lifts were modded by apex but i dont know their originael brand
The last building has odd and even floor lifts? Does the building have 19 or 20 floors?

hi loving this video :)
what was the lift the first one?
I couldn't see the video so could only listen, but loved it all the same :)
what's at the floors the lift doesn't serve?

+Beno thinking of coming back here to surf these?

Typical tinny council tower block lifts, almost smell the disinfectant (if not other smells)
I see This Old elevlator is 12 floor is up button
