Bloomframe

Just a few weeks ago I spent an afternoon talking about porches and balconies with an architect friend. We were trying to come up with a space saving solution that would allow more people in the city to have balconies. Well it looks like Hofman Dujardin beat us to it with the BloomFrame.

The BLOOMFRAME breaks out of the 2-dimensional facade to add to the usable space in this innovative design by Hofman Dujardin Architects. Bloomframe is an innovative window frame that can be transformed into a balcony allowing an increase in usable space with minimal intervention. Bloomframe offers the user a flexible living environment. By opening the window frame, it is possible to walk out through the facade and to enjoy a comfortable balcony. The dynamic balcony enables adding outdoor space to compact apartments in urban high-rise areas.
