During the reconstruction of the mansion a second floor as built, as well as a new building was added to have a place for a big pool. A balcony with massive stone railings was built above the entrance.  Image Courtesy © ITHAKA – Architecture and design Instead of a roof over the balcony some massive pergolas were installed. Climbing plants will extend to pergolas over time and will create an atmosphere of shade and coolness at the balcony. For facing of the facade were used slabs of natural travertine. The use of travertine on the facade gives the building not only an exquisite beauty, but also durability and strength .

Natural colors of natural materials such as oak, white travertine, etc are used in the interior. As a finishing material for floors in the living room and the dining oak of a light honey-color was chosen. Floors in the fireplace area and the kitchen are covered with ceramic tiles.
