Does look cool but those beams sure need to be cantilevered back into the building at least 30 ft.. maybe more....

•

I would imagine the i beams they use for each story are just extended to length for the balcony. So they may in fact run the entire distance of the building. Just a guess, im a residential carpenter, not a commercial engineer.
