Techniques are described for an elevator apparatus that includes a cabin apparatus and a hoistway apparatus. In an embodiment, the cabin head apparatus of the cabin apparatus extends parallel to a cross-section of the hoistway apparatus. The air pressure in the part of the hoistway is maintained to be different from the air pressure inside the cabin apparatus and may cause the cabin apparatus to ascend or to stay steady within the hoistway apparatus. The cabin head apparatus is partially load-bearing for the cabin apparatus and any load. In an embodiment, the air pressure difference is maintained by seal(s) that are peripherally coupled to the cabin apparatus, generating an airtight connection of the cabin apparatus with an inner periphery of a cross section of the hoistway apparatus. The seals substantially prevent the air in the top portion of the hoistway apparatus from entering the bottom portion and vice versa.
