Abstract

The invention relates to a building access system (100) adapted to be arranged externally of a building comprising a number of storeys, comprising an elevator module (2) with an elevator shaft (2A) for an elevator and a mounting arrangement (3) for mounting to a wall (4) of the building. The access system further comprises at least one balcony module (1,1) comprising one or more balconies (1A,1A,1A,1B,1B,1B), each said balcony comprising a balcony door (16) for providing access to the elevator in a side wall (13). The balcony module (1,1) or modules comprises/comprise one or more separate modules adapted for connection to the building in association with the elevator module (2), or the elevator module and one or more balcony modules comprise an integrated elevator and balcony module. The mounting arrangement (3) is adapted for interconnecting the balcony and elevator modules with the wall (4) of the building.
