Does anyone know why they have these small balconies below the windows? Never seen this before.

- rwhitman 14y agoMy theory is that they are there to prevent people from either A) plummeting to their death upon climbing out the window or B) being able to throw trash out their windows into the street There's no way they are useable as a balcony as you'd have to climb out a tiny window and drop 4 feet onto a sharp spiked railing.
- mc32 14y agoI'm guessing it's just superficial decoration, as there is no door to make it useful as balcony.
- molmalo 14y agoMaybe to support air conditioner or just for plants (decoration, just to see some green through the window).
- reginaldo 14y agoYou can put plant vases on those and not have the risk of your vases falling on someone's head. Somewhat like this: http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/look-flower-pots-as-window-box-58834 http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/look-flower-pots-as-window-b... (random image found with google image search).
- lobster_johnson 14y agoYep, although that's a picture of an actual balcony (a small one, but still), with a proper door instead of just a window above it.
