Classical architecture Externally, pavilions may be emphasised by any combination of a change in height, profile (a flat facade may end in round pavilions, or flat ones that project out), colour, material, and ornament. Internally they may be part of a rectangular block, or only connected to the main block by a thin section of building.

French gatehouses had been built in the form of such pavilions in the preceding century. Other uses In some areas, a pavilion is a term for a hunting lodge.
