A good idea that would benefit by a closer look into different contexts and building forms. The question is: would a building with a rooftop choose this method to add balcony? Is it really possible to standardise module to this level?
Good original concept, which demonstrates solid constructive knowledge. We highlight the detailed presentation, modularity, durability and study of materials.
