Dimension of load-bearing beam balcony

I am planning to build an exterior corner balcony that extends about 2m from the facade and is about 4m wide. It will wrap around the corner of the house so that the depth increases from 2m to about 3.5m where the facade ends. I am thinking of two support beams, one that is about 4m long running parallel to the facade 2m from the house, and one that is maybe 1.5m long running perpendicular from the gable of the house. Then there will be some 3.5m joists and some 2m joists on this. The support beams will stand on three pillars on footings, one at each outer corner of the balcony. What do you think about this? Dimensions for the pillars and support beams?

The next problem to solve is how to best make the balcony also work as a roof. But I don't need to know that until next summer.

Have you looked at TIL-Tak I think Beijers sells it.
