Bloomframe is an add-on balcony. The first Bloomframes will, according to designers/architects, Hofman Dujardin, be available early this year. You can add Bloomframe to a new or existing building. I don’t think a plain old balcony is scary. I mean, anyone can add a balcony on sure. Here’s the thing. This balcony folds right up.

The designer’s website, notes that, safety tests will be run (of course), but I just can’t say I’d feel all that safe with my fold-out balcony, say, 40 stories up.

For those not interested in folding balconies, Hofman Dujardin has other cool structures to see like their Bohebitat, still in the pre-planning stages, but neat none-the-less.

Check out the kooky window arrangement.

I like cartoon looking structures. This one is way fun. It will be black too (black brick actually) which you don’t often see.

Anyone brave enough to try an add-on balcony that folds right up?

Scary Offbeat Home Addition

This blog could use some serious blogroll revision. I need to do some adds, remixes, and sadly some cuts (but mostly adds). Thus I’ll be using my time at this blog this weekend for boring housekeeping tasks and am going MIA here in about five minutes. Not to worry; you’re probably all out enjoying the weekend sunshine anyhow and I’ll be back by Tuesday at the latest.

I’ll leave you with some best of the best from my daily blog reads this week. If you like what you see click on the link and whisk away to a blog where the writer might actually be around.

First up, dezeen has this little gem of a fountain and a slew of other inspired items this week that will brighten your weekend including what happens when you give designers balloons to work with.

Blog like you give a damn (likely one of the best named blogs ever) has a wonderful and funny post about the failings of prefab and why it may be not quite as fab an idea as we thought after all.

Inhabitat has this cool structure; more photos and the full specs available for a click.

Architecture.mnp, the always stellar stop on my blog rounds has a SEXY structure photo to share that you must see.

Since I can’t give you a peek (there’s just the one sexy pic) have a look at this tiny item I found at ThinkGeek that reminded me of Architecture.mnp the second I saw it.

Lastly, in totally random, not related to architecture at all sites (unless you count the ladders) I found something that will make you feel better about yourself and your thinking process in about three seconds flat. You know you want to visit.

Have a wonderful weekend and see you all in a couple of days.
