I was interested in creating a metal terrace for the 2nd floor in this cutout corner of my building, about 4 wide by 12 long. As you can see the building juts in and I thought I could make a long, thin terrace in that space for the 2nd floor apartment after turning the window (pictured top left) into a door.<\/p>\n
Where to start- I know permits are needed- structural engineer? architect? iron workers? <\/p>\n
To be clear, I am not looking to put stairs going down, just to create some outdoor space for the 2nd floor apt in that cut-out corner. Would support columns be necessary or could it just be joined directly to the building?<\/p>\n %<\/span><\/span> | %<\/span><\/a> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I was interested in creating a metal terrace for the 2nd floor in this cutout corner of my building, about 4 wide by 12 long.
