Projecting balconies

Inset balconies are generally preferred by residents, who find they offer enhanced privacy and shelter from the elements, and are thus able to use them more across the seasons.


Case Study : Pyrus House, Mile End ​Bell Phillips Architect  

Bold aluminium frames are used to define the balconies, creating a memorable and distinctive facade to an otherwise basic apartment block. The frames also help to provide concealed areas for storage, as well as enhancing privacy for residents.

Simple bar balustrade has been enhanced with an additional plate, to create a subtle but distinctive feature that also enhances privacy for residents to some degree.
