“More Sky” Window Turns Into Balcony To Give Small Apartments Outdoor Experience
Argentinian architect Aldana Ferrer Garcia has created an extending window concept that allows apartment-dwellers to enjoy the sky from their oft-cramped quarters. The “More Sky” windows all swing or otherwise extend out from the wall to create cozy seated alcoves.
Garcia writes that the project “provides visual relief, access to sunlight and fresh air for small apartments” and is a response to “current needs in densely populated cities.”

I just want to know HOW MUCH THEY COST and if there is an installer who will travel to my address in Portland, Oregon
I'd be scared just in case the glass would crack!

I'm literally live at 30th floor in Hong Kong !! So.... Do I have a safety concern ??
THESE ARE ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS! I think this architect has hit on a highly desired accessory for anyone regardless of the type of abode they are living in. I hope he patents the idea and design - I'd have a few in a heartbeat!
My cats also placed this on their letters to Santa!! What a brilliant design!
My thoughts exactly. If everybody did it in a block you wouldn't see much sky!

I love it but wouldn't sit in it . It would be nice to put a beautiful plant & have natural light come in.
The liability for a landowner who even allows such a thing would be crazy.
Love it! But in reality, how do they provide fresh air? That would make it perfect!
That is a spectacular idea! My hat is off to you, Aldana Ferrer Garcia.
great idea even though i have a fear of falling and heights i so want one
