WALK-ON GREEN BALCONY CONCEPT
A concept for a walk-on balcony that is suspended above the center courtyard of a building in Poland
As the designers explain: “There are ideas that arise from the need of a particular moment. Such a need – another hot day of summer spent in the office and a thought ‘if only I could go for a walk’ – became inspiration for a project of a path suspended in the air, a balcony Walk-on. It is also one of the ideas to change a sad courtyard, that we overlook every day out of the office windows on the 3rd floor, to give the courtyard a bit of magic. A normal path is tortuous, winds, does not lead directly to the goal, surprises, relaxes, gives contact with nature. Therefore our path should also flow freely in space – giving you a moment of relaxation, rest, allowing you to change the perspective. This influenced its shape – it winds freely and intertwines with itself – it allows for a relaxing walk ‘from office to office.’ Longing for a bit of greenery made us treat the path as a large pot. We filled it with grass that can grow as it wants – after all it’s just a path."
