The building of the Paphos Municipal Hall is a building open to the public, a center of cultural and social events.

The building is composed of simple pure geometric volumes, which in their relation and their proportions seek the harmony of the whole, the best possible relationship with the ground and its adaptation to the inclination, the best possible view, the best possible orientation and the correct correlation of the functions.

The incoming lobby with its transparency and the release of the three sides make the building lighter with less building mass.

The building is treated as an object sculpture in the space, prominent, which is composed of two building blocks and opens in the two squares.The composition of the building attempts to achieve harmony, to the measure of man, through the proportions of the volumes, the relationship of the individual with the whole, the sincere-true expression of its materials and the modern technology in the constructions, the processing of architectural details and openings, the clear expression of its public character, its content and its function.
