The front façade consists of three main axes: the central one and the side ones, which are gradually forward from the central axis and have a curved transition. In the middle of the central axis, there are two small balconies on each floor, with horizontal metal railings. At the back façade, the composition is the opposite. While the central axis is forward, the side axis is behind it. Furthermore, at the back façade, the balconies are at the side axis and are all the side axis’ long. There are six balconies on each façade.

On each floor, there are two apartments which can be reached by the front door, through the main staircase. There is a back door as well, which opens to the second staircase. In the middle of the main staircase, there is a lift. However, today the box of the lift does not exist, but its structure is still there.Today, the building is still used as a residential apartment with shops on its ground floor.
