I’m a big fan of the blog There, I Fixed It, which covers “Epic Kludges and Jury Rigs,” according to their tag line. While most of the time, they’re posting about the bad and the ugly, every now and then a really good jury rig comes through my feed from them. This particular one caught my eye and one commenter tracked down the source. This drawbridge-style window garden, named Volet Végétal, comes to us from Paris-based design and architecture firm BarreauCharbonnet. As one of the selections from the “Jardin Jardin” design contest, they’ll be showing their prototype at le Jardin des Tuileries exhibition this summer. Check out this video for how they made it.

Scary safety issue there. One rope snap and it falls to the ground possibly hurting people. Now a window 3 tier planter that does not tip out, that is a great idea. it would be better secured and can add a window screen or even plexi so that it acts as a greenhouse to work in colder weather.
That is one very annoying GIF. Make it stop!

I like the starting idea, but needs a serious redesign for safety!
