Metro Stations Solntsevo and Novoperedelkino

In the subway tunnels and its spaces the underground trains and a constant passenger flow create a lot of noise and a strong echo. The conceptual idea of the architectural design for Novoperedelkino station is to cover walls and ceiling with acoustic and sound absorbing elements, that would be made from lightweight ceramic, therefore the material wouldn’t allow the sound waves to bounce off the walls and ceiling and create echoes. The finishing of the station will not only absorb noise, but it will also visually add more space and the pattern would help the passengers to navigate easier in the subway station, by pointing the way to the platform or nearest exits.
Walls and ceilings are made in neutral ‘ocher’ tone, but functionally significant elements that require attention are highlighted in more bright blue ‘indigo’.
Architectural design will provide the passengers comfort and safety. The quietest metro station in the world? Possible!
