From a stylistic point of view the group of buildings is closely linked to the Casa Vicens (1883- 88) and, in common with that building, is reminiscent of the architecture of the Spanish Moorish period. The roofs of both the lodge and the riding hall are spanned by domes crowned with lanterns; the facades are covered in decorative tiles to which the window sections, executed in clinker brick, make an attractive contrast. Worthy of note are the elaborate openwork bricked ledges which surround the roof of the stables.
