Drawer Deck Design: Convertible Interior & Exterior Space

What a simple yet strange design idea: an interior living room area that slides out like a drawer to become a cantilevered exterior balcony space overlooking an historic square in Germany.

While this is certainly an extreme design idea, the architects nonetheless did keep the context in mind. The windows, while more frequent and regularly spaced than those of the surrounding buildings, are contextual in their size and proportions. The roof line has a familiar angle that also allows this offbeat home to blend in with its surrounding architectural context.
