Location and architectural design

The station is entirely above ground, located on Blvd Andrey Sakharov on the existing bridge. She has one vestibule, whose approach is from the street under the bridge. The station has a predefined functional diagram and dimensions that are determined by the already built a bridge, without the possibility of variant solutions. The station is compact in form cylinder with oval section, smooth ushirena bulging in the central area of communications. Performed in an unconventional style of stations whose oval volumes, openwork design, fresh colors and materials create an effect of lightness and vazdushnost. Dynamic alternation of dense and transparent fields emphasizes movement, a combination of clear blue and warm yellow in the interior symbolize the sky, sun, air and light. The outside facade is transparent blue-green tube, covered by thick silver rings. It is covered with a polycarbonate with UV protection and varying degrees of transparency in bilateral etalbond aluminum siding with insulation, lighting fixtures with faceted reflectors to protect passengers from the summer heat and the greenhouse effect. For unknown reasons, the station is only one of all the stations on which it is not possible free transfer from one to the other direction of movement. Above ground. Platform length 102 m
