These are two adjacent houses, built on two floors with underlying basements, sharing the same architectural grammar. They seem to have been built at the same time and designed by the same architect.

The style is rather Mannerist, however, elements of the Baroque are evident, such as the use of omega hood moulds and a scallop shell motif within one of the window openings.

One of the windows is reminiscent to those designed by Francesco Borromini for Palazzo Barberini in Rome. The panelled walls of the façade are punctured by doors and windows set within heavy moulded frames. The arrangement of the ground and mezzanine level doors and windows is rather irregular and contrasts with the balanced arrangement of the upper floor apertures.

Over the doorway of house number 28 is an inscription in a cartouche Boni Amici - Amica Domusi, perhaps referring to Buonamici the architect to whom the design of the building is attributed or because he resided there while he was in Malta between 1635 and 1659 (Mahoney 1996).

Mepa scheduled Nos. 24 - 28, Triq l-Ifran as a Grade 1 national monument as per Government Notice No. 276/08 in the Government Gazette dated March 28, 2008.
