Plans

The design of the Terekhovo station is reminiscent of the historic interiors of the Moscow metro. It has many classic details: flutes, caissons, colonnades in a modern minimalist interpretation. Abstract silhouettes of ordinary people are printed on columns like the heroes of the metro of the past: workers, farmers, and scientists.

It was important to create a space full of air and light.  The use of fiberglass concrete offered a solution, giving a sense of integrity and plasticity to the interior. Its surface reflects and diffuses light, expanding the space visually. The elegant circular chandeliers have been specially designed for the station.

The entrance pavilions are designed as high portals, visible from afar with their 16-meter portals. The reflected light of the well-known bright red letter "M" illuminates the portal, marking the entrance to the brave new world of the Moscow Metro's Big Circle Line.
