Space As Scarcity: The Bloomframe

Here’s an interesting idea designed by Hofman Dujardin Architects based in Amsterdam. The Bloomframe can switch from window-frame to a balcony people can sit on and enjoy a glass of chilled white wine or two. The press release says:

The dynamic balcony offers a solution for compact apartments in dense urban areas. By transforming the elevation into a horizontal surface an outdoor terrace is added to an apartment. Bloomframe® can play a significant role in the real estate property of the future.

The Bloomframe® window can be used in various surroundings. Apartments for students can be easily equipped with an outdoor space. Hotels can add luxurious terraces to their rooms. In large scale renovations of former warehouses balcony’s can be created by adding Bloomframe® windows to the building. Complex constructions of balcony’s or loggias are not longer the only option.
