The opening to the outside is not only an architectural element allowing the interior to be flooded with natural light and fresh air, it is also a real relationship to the outside, providing a space for objects of various uses, which can no longer find their place in restricted and rationalised interiors, so that they can be acquired by first-time buyers. The organisation of the balconies is therefore an important issue: not to display a heap of heterogeneous objects on the facade while being able to take them out easily on these balconies, depending on the season and use (bicycles, tables, chairs, etc.). Apart from the fixed cellar, customisable elements are proposed: planters, desert refrigerators, etc.
