The Exoskeleton Lift is at the former Willoughby Municipal Incinerator, located along Small Street, in the northern suburb of Willoughby. The polished stainless steel sculpture over a lift core was created by Richard Goodwin in 2011. The incinerator was built in 1934 but closed by the 1960s. In 1982 it became a restaurant and then in 1989 it was converted to office space. After it was damaged by fire, conservation works to restore the incinerator building began in 2008 with reuse as a community hall, artist studio and cafe.

The Willoughby Municipal Incinerator is located along Small Street, in the northern suburb of Willoughby. It was designed by Walter Burley Griffin and Eric Nicholls and built in 1934 in the art deco architectural style. It housed the Australian-patented system of vertical top gravity feed (followed by drying prior to burning) incinerator developed by the Reverberatory Incinerator and Engineering Company (REICo). By the 1960s the Incinerator was closed and was saved from demolition following an active campaign by community groups. In 1982 it was converted to a restaurant and then in 1989 it was converted to office space. After it was damaged by fire, conservation works to restore the incinerator building began in 2008 with reuse as a community hall, artist studio and cafe.
