Notes

The perspective shows a design that is more enclosed so that the round arched, double-height entrance is through a three-storey centre supporting a pavilion-roofed clock tower (flanked at the corners by water pots). The plan is an adaptation of the previous drawing, that is, a square courtyard with rectangular sides and quadrant corners.
