The building is planned as a compact rectangular volume measuring 21x13'5m, two stories high with inclined roof. The ground floor is located at the level of the square, giving rise to theTown Hall main façade and where the access to the building is located. Due to the 1.5m difference level between the square and the rear street, the ground floor is semi-buried with respect to the rear street, and this area is where the archive is located.
