These extensions pop up on all kinds of buildings, old and new, all in an effort to turn balconies into extra storage rooms. The problem is, the e*******n is often horrendous. Imagine a beautiful early 20th-century building with a clunky metal-and-plastic box pasted onto it. It’s chaotic. It’s bizarre. And yet, in some strange way, it’s uniquely ours. Personally, I have an inexplicable fondness for them, though they also make my eyes bleed.
At the end of the day, taste is subjective. Every architectural choice, no matter how strange, is cherished by someone. For them, it’s not ugly—it’s unique. One-of-a-kind. Eccentric. Maybe even fun. But whether you love them or hate them, one thing is certain: they get people talking. And that, more than anything, is what matters. Because in the world of architecture, the one thing worse than being ugly is being boring.
