DETAILS
Situated along Moscow’s Ring Road and adjacent to the legendary Paveletsky Station transportation hub, Paveletskaya Place Park will both cover and reveal the new, bustling underground retail facility below, while also serving as a landmark destination for residents and visitors alike.
The dynamic and rich urban context provide the essential components of a great urban space; especially the year-round activity and performance opportunities. Paveletskaya Place Park is conceived as a great 21st-century urban stage on which everyday life unfolds. It transforms into a series of magical retail, cultural, and social experiences and becomes a sculpted setting to foster a rich dialogue between park and retail experience, and in doing so has elevated the value of both. As the heart of the retail hub, the plaza recalls the welcoming appeal of the original railway station grounds, but propels it into the future with ambitious forms and dynamic components.
