Moscow’s Committee for Architecture and Urban Development has approved the design project of Sheremetyevskaya station on the Big Circle Line (BCL). The station will be located in the Maryina Roshcha District of Moscow’s Northeastern Administrative Area.

The only lobby will be situated at the intersection of Sushchyovsky Val Street and 2nd Maryina Roshcha Street. Sheremetyevskaya station will provide an interchange for Maryina Roshcha station on the Lyublinsko-Dmitrovskaya Line.

«The design project is based on the esthetics of porcelain, a compulsory element of Count Sheremetev’s manor, whose architectural ensemble is near the station under construction.The entrance hall will feature 2.5-metre-high white glazed spheres resembling porcelain teapots, polished to a gleam, on the count’s dining table,» said Moscow’s Acting Chief Architect Sergei Kuznetsov.

Glazed spheres will also decorate the outside of the station’s lobby instead of the classical columns common in such cases. In the evening, architectural lighting will illuminate the building with panoramic windows, which will measure nearly three metres in height, to let daylight into the entrance hall.

The platform design will reflect the porcelain theme as well. Columns, walls and floor will be made of light granite. A granite tile mosaic will cover the columns, which will look like breccia − a rock made of angular fragments of minerals or rocks. The vaults and columns will sport architectural lighting.

«Architects had to take into account one more feature of a noble interior — ceramic tile that traditionally decorated house facades, fireplaces and stoves. Aluminum panels stylised to resemble ceramic tiles will adorn the lobby’s ceiling,» added Sergei Kuznetsov.

Sheremetyevskaya station is due to open as part of the Lefortovo-Savyolovskaya section in 2022. The station will be 74 metres deep. The Big Circle Line will connect all the radial lines at a distance of up to 10 kilometres from the existing Circle Line. It will cover over 69 km, with 31 stations, and offer interchanges with other metro stations and the Moscow Central Circle (MCC). There are plans to complete the construction in 2021-2022.
