Pål Jørgensen Architect MNAL, Forum Architects in Bergen, Norway

Balcony extension and glazing in an existing residential area must take serious account of architecture and aesthetics, so that no sensitive details are lost along the way.

A creative challenge

“For me as an architect, it is important to have a flexible partner who listens. Balco offers great choice in terms of openings, decorative edging, corner solutions, accessories, colours and materials. They also like creative challenges, just like me.” Architect Pål Jörgensen of Forum Architects in Bergen, Norway, has worked with Balco for many years and believes that interest in glazed balconies is on the increase. “I have worked a great deal with glass in architecture, particularly large glazed environments, and I think that glass helps create better living environments.

Flexibility and innovation
When glazing in balconies, it is vital to involve the architect right from the start. An architect has the ability to get the most out of the particular circumstances in each project. However, the manufacturer and supplier also have a crucial role to play in achieving a good result. “One major advantage with Balco is that they are knowledgeable and easy to work with. Balco’s designers are highly competent technically and the project managers have considerable experience. It is not always easy to come up with an attractive and at the same time functional glazing design,” explains Jörgensen. “So it is good to have a flexible and innovative supplier who is open to all the architect’s ideas and suggestions.”

No standard solutions
“Working with Balco is always inspiring,” says Jörgensen. “They don’t just rely on standard solutions. Each project is a unique design tailored to the individual building.”
