When we started to pull this week on Balcony Living together there was much discussion about what constitutes a balcony. Photos of terraces and rooftop decks kept sneaking into the mix so we decided it was high time we knew exactly what a balcony is. A balcony is "a platform projecting from the wall of a building, supported by columns or console brackets, and enclosed with a balustrade." Platform is the operative word in that definition and with few exceptions that platform equates into a very small or very long footprint and an iconic outdoor space. We will tackle the design challenges and opportunities of balcony living throughout the week but to get us started some classic balcony inspiration.
