The lavish villa is reminiscent of Norwegian models. Typical of this style are the wide, beaver-tail-covered roof with two full storeys . The elaborate design of the windows (especially in the area of the dormers and the gable windows ), the extensive shingling of the gable with wooden shingles , the base made of quarry stone and the design of the columns in the entrance area are remarkable ; where the ground floor jumps back in favor of a small entrance terrace , as is typical for country houses of that time.
