Because deep down, the construction of the pavilion is intended as additional multipurpose space. However, keep in mind is, do a proper flag flag.

That is, the flag design in such a way as to eliminate the connotation of the flag is used to store or place of storage. The trick, said Haris, you can create more attractive facade of the pavilion.

"Yes, of course, the design should represent the character of the owner of the house," the architect.

The rest, as well as the design of the flag for another function, ie taking into account the flow of air and light.

For example, determining the number of openings for the pavilion. Then, with regard to good circulation, if the change is good or not?

Andry Hermawan architect, said the number of openings in the flag important consideration when designing the flag of the occupants in order to maximize store air circulation and light in the room.

"Warehouses are often synonymous with high humidity. Therefore, if the tenant is less noticed, I have no doubt that the furniture or objects that can be durable and long lasting. Moreover, the types of objects files are stored as files undoubtedly vulnerable to damage, "said Andrew.

It is also equally important is the height of the floor and ceiling of the hall. In this case depend on the type of furniture that is stored there.

When the size of furniture such as cabinets, then make higher than the cabinet. On the other hand, to gauge their need for space is to measure the dimensions of the largest item, multiplied by bending, then you can get enough space size is ideal.

In addition, because the flag of the land for storage tend to be limited, then consider the design of furniture. Do not let the elements of the stack up to chance. We recommend that you select and arrange neatly on the size and relationship to the function at any time if necessary, will not be mistaken in their search.
