The building is build totally of stone in the Venetian style and Architecture, stones from the north village Sinies and granite, the bricks of course which have been used for the supporting arches of the static weights are of the old and solid ones commonly used in Corfu in the past. The mixture used to keep the bricks together contains porcelain detritus in a large percentage, details which enable this building to have no expire date (metal is nowhere to be found as a substance), as the exact same building materials were used by the Venetians to construct both fortresses in Corfu (the Old and the New). Furthermore, the lower parts of the windows have been constructed with stone and not with bricks as was common then to make things easier.
It is possible to install a lift, due to its architecture and the existing walls, and the fact that the width of the stair case is 2 meters, a very rear characteristic for a building of its age where the width normally comes up to 1meter.
The height of the ceiling of the apartment of the second floor (main
quarters of the mansion) reaches the length of 4,20m, in the sitting room of course and the lounges the ceilings are decorated with drawings which are estimated to be the work of the well known artist Bizani. The apartments of the first floor though, have ceilings which reach a height of about 4m. The apartment of the second floor also has imposingly royal architectural elements, such as tall arches with heavy wedge shaped stones and a tufting column and crossover arches in the stair case as well as the inner side of the entrance.
