I've also been in buildings with double-decker elevators. So it stops at 1&2, 3&4 etc. So if you enter the building at floor 1, but need to go to floor 12, you have to take the escalator and enter the elevator at floor 2 so that you later can jump off at floor 12 when it stops at 11&12.

- matsemann 3y agoI think the one I saw was in Mori Tower in Japan. https://www.mori.co.jp/en/projects/roppongihills/technology.html https://www.mori.co.jp/en/projects/roppongihills/technology.... > Super Double-Deck Elevators > We have installed these elevators in Roppongi Hills Mori Tower. Mori Tower’s “super double-deck elevators” are equipped with a pantograph joint on the part of the elevator that connects two passenger cars that can expand and contract by up to two meters, making it possible for the elevator to serve floors with varying heights. > Nippon Otis Elevator Company and Mori Building have a joint patent on this pantograph joint structure, the first of its kind in the world. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-deck_elevator https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-deck_elevator
