The mid height wall corner detail looks awesome.

Yeah, it’s a really old structure. It’s part of what’s usually called Persian‑Islamic architecture. What I find interesting about it is how much culture is built into the design itself. The shapes, the proportions, the wall details, even how the spaces connect to each other all reflect cultural ideas about privacy, climate, family life, and aesthetics. It’s not just construction — it’s architecture that carries a lot of cultural meaning.

For instance, many traditional houses had two different door knockers: one for men and one for women. They make different sounds, so the people inside could tell who was at the door and decide who should answer it.

Another interesting design detail is the height of the entrance. Often the doorway is intentionally a bit low, so when a visitor enters they naturally have to bend their head slightly. In a way, the visitor arrives already bowed before the host.
