The architectural design of the structure is considered to be based on Seljuk architecture, including the columns, mihrab, and conical dome.دليل الجوامع والمساجد التراثية والأثرية - ديوان الوقف السني. p.140. The main building is a cube-shaped structure topped by a pyramidal roof raised on an octagonal drum, with an inner layer of muqarnas inside the pyramidal roof. On the north of the building was an entrance into the tomb. The building is not oriented towards Mecca and features a mihrab in the southwest corner of the tomb. The niches flanking the door of the building contained turquoise bricks forming interlocking stars and octagons, and had Kufic inscriptive panels below the crowning arch. There are similar niches on the west and south façades, placed on either side of a window.
