La Granja de la Ricarda has a rectangular structure, with two one-story buildings connected by three two-story towers (a third building was added during its reconstruction), and is based on the metal structure of the great engineer Joan Torras and Guardiola. The exterior finishes and decorative elements are fully framed in Catalan modernism. The construction was the work of the company of Josep Monés i Jané from Praten, a friend of the Bertrands and to whom many of the most unique buildings in the city are owed, such as the Telegraph.
The airport expansion works affected the building and AENA reached an agreement with the Ajuntament del Prat to rebuild it on CalSilet road, near the center of the city, and transfer it to the municipality . Today, La Granja de la Ricarda is protected as a cultural asset of local interest.
