balcony
Elevated outdoor platform
A balcony is a platform projecting from the wall of a building, enclosed by a railing or balustrade: We had coffee on the balcony overlooking the garden.
In theaters and auditoriums, the balcony is an upper level of seating that projects over the main floor: We got cheap seats in the balcony.
