Look at a shallow profile filing cabinet, and pull out every other drawer, now scale it up in your imagination to the size of a building. Every apartment now has two floors, one of which is the extendable balcony.

In the summer, you crank out your balcony, and have an outdoor garden, in the winter you bring it in and have an indoor garden.

see link - depicting winter mode.

       B-but, what happens to all your indoor stuff when you crank in the balcony? Maybe they could be simultaneously cranked out the other side of the building creating a (cold) outdoor room?

       read it again [faffer] you have two floors - only one cranks in and out, so "indoor stuff " is unaffected.

       This is highly funky, I like it. Though if you crank the garden out intending to sunbathe, you'd better make sure you're living on the top floor.
