The innovative More Sky project by Argentinian architect Aldana Ferrer Garcia was presented at Dubai Design Week 2015 as part of the Global Grad Show.

Her thesis project was developed while studying at the Pratt Institute in New York. It pushes the boundaries of cramped urban living, creating an opportunity for more light, space and visual stimulation.

The concept behind the design is to bring city dwellers into contact with nature by means of accordion-style, expandable structures that extend out of the spaces where regular windows would be.
