Morphology

unbalconied = balconied (transparent) = un + balcony + ed

The adjective is formed by adding the productive prefix 'un-' to 'balconied', meaning simply 'not having balconies'.

Etymology

Unbalconied is made from un- meaning 'not' and balcony, a raised 'outside platform' on a building. So unbalconied simply means 'not having balconies', which is why such rooms may feel more closed in.
