Abstract

When designing external spaces to buildings such as balconies and the like, critical problems may occur due to poor detailing. Although current discussion focuses on the problems created by thermal bridging little attention is paid to drainage problems, snow loading and surface treatment, all of which might lead to structural failure. The same applies to the design of handrails, as a safety measure, and how to integrate these with surface water drainage solutions. "The Devil in the Details" really does apply to this area of building design requiring that multidisciplinary cooperation in a necessity to avoid failure.
