peer agreement (net): +5| kiosk Erker Explanation: Since the structure referred to is part of the facade of a building and probably not a structur standing by itself, I am pretty sure what is ment here is the German "Erker" which, were it to be taken out from the facade and to be completed in form, wuld be a "Pavillon". |
