Challenge
Given an integer n>=4 as input create an ASCII art "prison door"* measuring n-1 characters wide and n characters high, using the symbols from the example below.
Example
╔╦╗
╠╬╣
╠╬╣
╚╩╝
The characters used are as follows:
┌───────────────┬─────────┬───────┐
│ Position │ Symbol │ Char │
├───────────────┼─────────┼───────┤
│ Top Left │ ╔ │ 9556 │
├───────────────┼─────────┼───────┤
│ Top │ ╦ │ 9574 │
├───────────────┼─────────┼───────┤
│ Top Right │ ╗ │ 9559 │
├───────────────┼─────────┼───────┤
│ Right │ ╣ │ 9571 │
├───────────────┼─────────┼───────┤
│ Bottom Right │ ╝ │ 9565 │
├───────────────┼─────────┼───────┤
│ Bottom │ ╩ │ 9577 │
├───────────────┼─────────┼───────┤
│ Bottom Left │ ╚ │ 9562 │
├───────────────┼─────────┼───────┤
│ Left │ ╠ │ 9568 │
├───────────────┼─────────┼───────┤
│ Inner │ ╬ │ 9580 │
└───────────────┴─────────┴───────┘
Rules
- You may take input by any reasonable, convenient means.
- For the purposes of this challenge, in languages where the symbols used to build the "door" are multi-byte characters, they may be counted towards your score as a single byte each.
- All other characters (single- or multi-byte) should be counted as normal.
- You may output an array/list of lines instead of a multi-line string.
- Output may not contain any leading or trailing whitespace other than a trailing newline where absolutely necessary.
- This is code-golf so lowest byte count wins.

C (gcc), 119 118 116 115 bytes
#define p(x,y,z) printf(i^1?i^c?#z:#y:#x)
i,j;f(c){for(i=1;i<=c;p(╗\n,╝\n,╣\n),i++)for(j=p(╔,╚,╠);j++<c;)p(╦,╩,╬);}
Function solution.
I started with a recursive solution but it didn't work out well... though I'm still convinced that this can be shaved down quite a bit with recursion.
EDIT:
Recursive version which currently landed at exactly 115 bytes too...
#define p(x,y,z) printf(i^1?i^c?#z:#x:#y);
c,j;f(i){for(c=c?c:i,j=p(╔,╚,╠)j++<c;)p(╦,╩,╬)p(╗\n,╝\n,╣\n)--i?f(i):0;}
