Default Balcony or Window ?

As if inspecting is not tough enough ,you gotta decide which heading to put this contraption under.
Is it a window or a balcony?

Man the structure support needed must be massive. Somehow i doubt wood frame could handle it, The factory view shows steel H beams.

Notice how the floor is glass making me wonder if that tempered glass can crack through easily.
Sears Tower just put in a retractable balcony last month though I am not sure it was the same designer.
The one at Sears supposedly will not shatter and is some insane thickness.
