[citation needed] The building has a three-story layout encompassing a central courtyard, providing access to the rooms via staircases.

The building's terrace features a metal handrail supported by several piles of masonry, which is a common element found throughout the city.

The left side of the building is accessible from the Coral Courtyard, a collection of homes constructed on the ancient gate of the medina Arabian Sea.

Nearby, on the same street, is the modern Kursaal building designed by Guillermo Pérez Villalta, currently serving as an exhibition hall.

The recovery of the building was accompanied by development of the mouth of the river with the construction of an urban park called Paseo del Rio de la Miel.
