This building was built using bricks and tiles, known as Razi style. Gonbad-e Sorkh is one of the first of the Razi style buildings in Islamic Architecture of Iran. This building had two domes one above the other. The outer dome was a pyramid style dome which has collapsed; now only inner dome remains. This building doesn’t have any inscription stating that it was a mausoleum so it is considered a monumental tower.
