We ran across these innovative window systems designed by Fakro, which can easily add a balcony or a small terrace to a room.
The clever mechanism, found on Inhabitat, is described by the producers as follows: “The upper top hung sash (of the window) opens upwards, whereas the lower sash can be tilted forwards, allowing easy access to the balcony recess. When rotated through 0° to 45°, the sash is supported by an innovative auxiliary system which allows leaving the open sash in any position within this range. The upper sash can be raised up to 45°. Side barriers are integrated into the bottom sash and slide out during opening. When closing the lower sash, balcony barriers hide in the window, thus they are not visible above the roof.

Planning Your Pond The first step to start your own fish pond is to pick a location in your backyard that is a natural low spot where water would naturally collect. If you live in an area with hot summers, it is wise to include a deeper area of 8-12 feet as part of your plan - a place where fish can escape during hot weather.
