(partitition) walls used as architectural statements or features to make them stand out Explanation: to make a statement means to make something a feature or make it stand out a bulkhead is a partition wall or can be a stairwell "box". However, looking at the photos of this house the walls are being used to divide the house in a striking way thus "making a statement" ( rather like an architect would use columns as a feature) http://www.thefreedictionary.com/bulkhead -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 24 mins (2014-07-31 09:48:33 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/make a statement Create a certain impression; communicate an idea or mood without using words. For example, The furnishings here make a statement about the company .
