7) Car balcony



A private, safe and convenient parking space is a rare thing. German architects Manfred Dick and Johannes Kauka have come up with a concept that includes privacy, convenience, safety as well as an added luxury of a car elevator that lifts the car to the respective apartment. This concept involves a simple procedure of driving to the car elevator, pressing the button and reaching your swanky penthouse. The advantages entail unloading your groceries, having the car right in front of you, and protection from kidnapping.

Hammock Portable balcony



This is an ideal solution if you want your own space and get a little fresh air in the process. Designed by G10 Design, the ‘Hommokum’ is an interesting type of hammock that clips onto the portico of your apartment. It has been specially designed for people in Amsterdam, known as “Amsterdammers” as most of the houses here don’t have a balcony.
