Unless the declaration says otherwise: finished surfaces of designated wall/floor/ceiling boundaries are part of the unit; the rest of those assemblies are common elements. A fixture lying partly in and partly out of a unit is a limited common element if it serves only that unit. Shutters, exterior doors and windows, porches, balconies, and patios designed to serve a single unit but located outside it are limited common elements allocated exclusively to that unit.
