Petras Architects has revealed their third-prize winning entry in the competition to design a new cultural center in Paphos, Cyprus. The brief called for "spaces for the production of ideas and art," to provide new cultural infrastructure in the expansion of the village. Along with the new buildings, existing buildings were to be adapted to suit the new program, which was to include a school of fine art, workshops, and spaces for communal activity.

Petras' proposal, Minimum Domus, features a series of arrayed cubes that intersect with both the existing environment and each other to create a diverse range of conditions. The cubes are arranged into two distinct clusters; the southern includes the artist and student housing of the complex while the northern includes the new Art College, and the Artist Labs.
