Hey all you terminology geniuses. I'm looking for a unique architectural term that would describe an enclosed balcony that sticks out from the main structure.
I would like for it to be a word not commonly used by the general English-speaking public, like enfilade (just an example, I know it doesn't mean what I'm looking for).
Thank you!

Why the need for a single word? Define it once up front (as you do above), then "balcony" subsequently.

That's a fantastic word. Would it be pronounced with the accent on the i?

If you want, balcóntilever is also an option...there's still a heated debate going on in the field to determine the correct placement of the emphasis.

You could call it a 'balcon ferme' and charge $20,000 more.

I might call it a carbuncle. But I think the term you're looking for is oriel balcony.
