On the estate Massanet faced the challenge of building a house in keeping with the magnificence of the place. For this reason he designed a building with four completely different façades. Each face of the house looks out onto a different side of the Estate, perfectly oriented according to the cardinal points. Its various elements, such as balconies, access doors and windows are adapted to different uses, in an impressive symbiosis of features and functionality.

In a display of creativity, the architect designed a continuity in the façades of the building. If these were to be viewed in two dimensions, elements of the northern face would continue on the eastern and western face, with the corner design of colonnades and terraces; thus generating a continuity of planes and volumes between three of the sides.

Massanet added elements of the Canarian Architecture, such as the Arucas quarry stone, the designs of the porches, terraces, cornices, the exterior carpentry and the roof finish. In addition, the House includes elements of rationalist architecture, such as its circular metal tube railings, or the sober and unadorned window plaster frames.
