Building/ roof with intricate carvings


Explanation:
http://www.cgujian.com/a/protect/skill/467.html

花篮厅 is a building with intricate carvings. However, I'm not sure whether it's limited to floral motifs. The 狮子林燕誉堂, which is cited in the link above, appears to have intricate swirly carvings that don't really look like floral patterns.
