Yes you do need a Architect and a Engineer. but you also need a contractor that can work with concrete to give you what you need. Precision-services.com has done this before. also check out this video chad@spidertie.com

I have a similar issue, i have 3 feet wide & 10 feet long balcony attached to the dining area. It is more like a standing balcony, i plan on adding greenery, and decorate it with some terracotta stuff, pebbles & make it look like an attached conservatory to the dining. My problem is, it is way too narrow a balcony and i want to design it aesthetically. I also plan on adding glass sliding doors and cover the roof top & sides of the balcony with the glass, add some color to the walls to give it a conservatory look. Again, safety is an issue. I need to know if this is feasible and will look good. It is currently under construction. Any ideas & suggestions are welcome!

Hi Nirudu. Congrats on the purchase! I have lived in London for a decade and understand your query. As you know homes are compact in London and with the gloomy weather almost year round, developers tend to go for the standard magnolia for the walls and white for the ceiling for maximum light refection, at the same time give a warm atmosphere during night with warm white lights complementing the magnolia walls. I would suggest you keep the rooms nice and bright but instead use pop up colours in your furnishings to personalise your home. Example:
