The compound is characterized by its stepped massing, with courtyards of various forms, proportions and character, including shaded arcades, swimming pools, and unique roof terraces with pools and fountains, and shaded sitting areas providing private spaces for outdoor living. The exterior image is inspired by the architectural heritage of the region in general, using references to traditional details with materials such as stone, stucco, zellige patterns, decorative terrazzo flooring, wood and GRC screens, wooden ceilings and pergolas.
