The question
How much can a single balcony design do for a housing block?
On this white residential building, rows of balconies with rounded fronts stack floor above floor. The curve catches the light and throws a soft shadow below, so the elevation reads as layered rather than striped.
At street level
Palm trees and planting stand between the building and the street, a second layer before the first balcony begins.

What we kept
Draw the balcony edge in section before choosing its material. It is the line most people will see.
