Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Michael Wetzel: Sounds good to me. "Daiper-work" seems very technical in German and may only be used with architecture (vs. generality of English term). Waffelmuster/gewaffelt may be right. The best solution is to read German descriptions of a few famous examples.
