Idea

-Creating a center of attraction

-Changing the landscape design of the Central Department Store area

-Strategy for continuing the design move from the square to the line of connection with the main embankment

The existing facades of the building have been preserved as part of the architectural ensemble of the station square. This decision is based on the desire to leave the architecture of the Soviet period as the basis of the identity of the place and its dominant feature. The building remains within its boundaries.

At the same time, the internal space is modified and an emphasis is placed on creating a courtyard - the "pearl" of the building.

On the side of Navaginskaya Street, it is planned to create a food hall with various residents, occupying the central space of the building and having a through passage to the courtyard and, accordingly, to Gorky Street.

The creation of a food hall will attract a large share of visitors, as it will be based on various types and tastes of world, and especially Sochi, cuisine.

The courtyard is intended to be used as a place with various changing scenarios.

-Food hall
-Weekend market
-Place for reading
-Open-air cinema
-Lecture hall
-Acting performances


The creation of many functions will entail the appearance of new visitors of different ages and professions, plus it will give impetus to small businesses.
