The building displays characteristic Southern Fujianese (Minnan) architecture with deeply curved, upswept roof eaves terminating in ornate swallow-tail ridges, clad in traditional terracotta barrel tiles. Decorative gable ends feature colorful painted ceramic inlays with cloud and figure motifs rendered in blue and white against a dark border, a hallmark of Taiwanese-Hokkien temple and garden architecture. The complex is set within a classical Chinese garden featuring a lotus pond, scholar's rocks, and open pavilions, reflecting the integrated landscape design tradition of southern Chinese literati gardens.
