I had actually planned to let this cabin leave the seventh floor so that the other one would come up when called. But apparently they were not busy enough. I could have sent this one down, of course, but these elevators are not too special so I decided to keep the video short. The architecture is unusual in that the elevator shaft has the exterior view blocked on floors two and three, presumably for aesthetic reasons.

Technical specifications:
Brand: Otis
Capacity: 1000kg / ~2205lbs / 13 people
Type: traction (with belts, 2:1 transmission)
Year build: 2003
Travel distance: 10 floors
