At 16 by 16 feet, this pavilion stops being an addition to the backyard and becomes the reason people come outside. 256 square feet is enough room for a full outdoor living setup, seating, dining, and open floor space, all under one roof.
This is the size that changes how a family uses their yard. Big enough for a real outdoor kitchen and a lounge area on the same footprint, but still a size most properties can carry without feeling like it swallows the space around it.
