The Bloomframe

In Urban areas space is often at a premium, small apartments in urban areas are often sort on space, connection with the outside and light an air. The debate on wether or not to use valubal square footage for a balcony an reduce your year round space is one often faced by developers and urbanites. The Bloomframe designed by Hofman Dujardin Architects is an innovative solution to this urban dilemma.
As their website states;

Bloomframe is an innovative window frame which can be transformed into a balcony. Opening the Bloomframe window offers the possibility to step outside and enjoy the outdoor space. With one simple movement, light, air, and space are added to the interior. source

This is what I call smart and innovative design. The website goes on to state that the colour and material of the Bloomframe is customizable so it can be made to fit into new and existing construction. I can think of a number of my friends who would love to have one of these attached to their apartment.
