About the project (provided by the applicant)

The concept of preserving the historical Kokorev warehouses and integrating them into the train station inspired one of the complex's main design ideas: like sprouts breaking through to the light, the terminal building rises above the historical setting. Inside, the building's primary structures are designed to resemble the crown of a tree, reaching upwards towards the sun, sheltering the historic buildings beneath.

Approaching from Ligovsky Prospekt, passengers first enter one of the preserved red brick warehouses. From there, they ascend into a light, modern concourse with an expressive roof and column design.

The exterior of the station takes on a more restrained approach: the main terminal volumes are set deep within the site, hardly visible from outside. Only the graceful silhouette of the street canopies, with their curved lines, offers a hint of the dynamic internal spaces that await passengers.
