Why was such an unusual design element chosen for Pykhtino? It’s simple: the station is located on the territory of the Vnukovskoye settlement, Novomoskovsky district, not far from the Vnukovo airport.
“In the microdistrict adjacent to Pykhtino, streets are named after Soviet pilots and aircraft designers, which prompted the architects to choose the main theme for the station’s design.
The ceiling will be decorated with lighting structures in the form of turbine cylinders, and the slope of the escalator will continue in the form of a bell tower, which will be filled with sunlight during the day. It was also decided to place a model of the Tu-144 aircraft here,” explained Sergei Kuznetsov, Moscow’s chief architect, for the idea.
“Pykhtino” together with the neighboring station “Vnukovo Airport” promise to open any day. The latter will be the first metro station in the country located directly at the airport. The construction of the section with these stations began in October 2019, its length is almost five kilometers.
