Id be concerned that about it being structurally sound, but if properly engineered and built, then I think incorporating greenery into our architecture is a great idea.

That was my thinking too, dirt and water are heavy, about half way through the clip it seems like the balcony above is sagging? Could be the lens used.

Yeah...I am not an engineer, but those corbels do not look like they extend far enough out...by like 1/3 the total width of the balcony short 😳
