Location and architectural design
The station is totally above ground, with platform length 105 m. It is situated on Andrey Saharov blvd., close to a bridge. It has one vestibule with entrance from the street under the bridge. The station is preliminary fixed and limited in functional scheme and dimensions by the already existing bridge and the necessity of link between the two parts of Musagenitsa quarter. The station is a compact cylinder like one with elliptic section, smoothly broadened in the central communication area. The style of the station is unconventional, with its oval forms, open-work construction, fresh colors, and materials that create an effect of ease and lightness. Dynamic alteration of dense and transparent sections emphasizes movement, while the combination of transparent blue and yellow symbolize the sky, the sun, the air and the light. The façade looks like a transparent blue and green tube, caught by solid silvery rings. It is covered with polycarbonate panels with UV protection and varying degrees of transparency, double-sided aluminum siding with insulation, lighting fixtures with faceted reflectors, to protect passengers from the summer heat and the greenhouse effect.
Architects: arch. Elena and Farid Paktiaval; eng.-arch. Rumyana Kostadinova
