Extended Balcony Windows

The More Sky Glass Window Lengthens Horizontally to Give Outdoor Space

— November 4, 2015 — Art & Design
The More Sky balcony window by designer Aldana Ferrer Garcia is a great design piece to provide more outdoor space in small living quarters. Essentially the More Sky is a horizontal fold out window that gives users somewhere to sit and lounge with the feeling of being outside while remaining inside. This is an ideal alternative for spaces that don't offer any access to outdoors.

Unlike a conventional window, the More Sky features three wooden framed pieces that fold out to create a space that overlooks the edge of the home. The panels are lined with glass and allow for a space that residents can sit or even lean back on to enjoy a more all-encompassing view of the outdoors. This is great for those longing for a balcony without the space to have one.
