At 20 by 20 feet, this pavilion moves into a different category entirely. 400 square feet is enough to build a genuine outdoor living room, complete kitchen, full dining table, and a separate lounge area, all under one roofline.
This is the size for the property that treats the backyard as another wing of the house. A pavilion this large stops being a weekend feature and becomes a permanent extension of how the family actually lives.
