Turquoise Courtyard Passage

Large carved panels run vertically, while the revealed interior adds a second layer of balcony rails and courtyard geometry.

Raised floral appliques and panel frames are painted in one color so shadows, rather than contrast, reveal the craft.

The open threshold suggests welcome, memory, and the transition from street heat to family shade.

Painted wood leaves, carved appliques, plaster jambs, courtyard tile floor, balcony railing, and iron hinges.

Inspired by Uyghur courtyard houses where entries frame glimpses of trees, textiles, and upper galleries.
