Station design

The architectural design of the station was developed by architects R. Dzhulakyan, S. Burkhadzhyan and A. Mirzoyan.
The space is designed in a strict industrial style: the platform is clad in gray granite, and eight decorative rectangular stainless steel columns are installed in its center. The tunnel walls are lined with white marble with a black border along the bottom edge, repeating the contour of the tunnel. The columns are fitted with recessed lighting that illuminates the station through openings above, creating a soft, diffused light.
Initially, the station's lighting included column lamps and cornice lighting, but this was later replaced by brighter square chandeliers placed along the axis of the vault.
