In the east-west and in the north there is a risalit that extends over the entire height and carries a gable roof . This merges into the hipped roof , which covers the main body of the house , via integrated throats . On the south side, a dormer was designed as a roof house, which has a curved pyramid roof. This roof has a conical roof finish made of zinc . The entrance area is dominated by a towering tower.
The facade consists of exposed brickwork . The building is distinguished from the road, which was laid out of gray cobblestones at this point, through a clinker base of red color. The facade is also structured by a red cornice . Terrazzo block steps lead to the door, which has been preserved from the construction period . It is equipped with "half-stone-shaped recessed clinker bricks", has two wings and is made of oak. There are glass inserts in the door that are protected with grids and can be opened from the inside. The brass knobs, which have the shape of a lion's head, can be another indication of Bayer AG's influence on the building.
