Erläuterungstext

Pavilion
The verticality of the forest informs the pavilion design. The surrounding trees provide refuge, and recollect the imagery of the forest to be found inside the station. The vertical steel panels mimic the pattern of the exterior trees, and bend to provide seating for the passengers. The seating area of the pavilion is the main meeting space for the station, and has a strong visual connection to the exterior spaces around the station.

Street Underpass
The feature element of the underpass is the wall. Its panels are lit from behind and radiate a warm and natural light, evoking a walk through the forest. The printed acrylic panels alternate with the steel plates, which provide a canvas for signage and wayfinding information. In this first zone, the colored walls alternate with bronze finished steel panels. The density and verticality of the panels gradually decreases, as passengers circulate to the ticket hall.

Ticket Hall
The ticket hall is a light and generous space. It includes an information counter and all necessary facilities. The two pedestrian flows from the southern entrance join and guide passengers to the platforms. The internal steel panels along the wall bend to provide resting and waiting areas for the passengers. The bench, not meeting the floor, allows for ease of cleaning.

Platform
The water theme backlit panel surrounds the passengers on the platform. The lighting from the ceiling extends the space, giving a sense of being surrounded by the Moskva river. The directional signage elements and general metro information are integrated into the steel panels and are backlit. From the platform passengers are easily led to their desired exit/entrance point through recognition of the imagery of the four seasons on the walls.
