description
The architecture of the building does not contain any elements of particular concern. The palace appears as the sum of two connected structures.
The left, larger part has a rectangular portal to the water on the left and three rectangular windows to the right; the two middle openings are a little closer together. On the first floor there are two rectangular doors in the middle with a shared balcony , each flanked by a single rectangular window. Four rectangular individual windows are arranged side by side on the second floor. At the top, the plastered and red-painted facade closes off with a serrated eaves . On the roof there is a small observation tower with a single rectangular window. The building has cornices made of Istrian limestone to separate floors . The frames of the openings and the eaves are also made of this material.
The right, narrower part has a large arched portal to the water on the left , next to which there are two rectangular windows on the right. On the first floor there are two rectangular doors with a shared balcony and between which a coat of arms is placed in the middle. There are two rectangular single windows on the second floor. The eaves, which is a little higher than the left part of the building, is supported by small consoles . There is a large chimney head on the roof. On this part of the building, too, with its plastered and red-painted facade, the frames of the openings and the eaves are made of Istrian limestone.
A large garden extends behind the house, adjoining that of the neighboring Palazzo Venier dei Leoni, in which there is a round fountain in the middle.
