The shopping center, two sports arenas under one roof near the Sports Academy, fitness club and Spa, modern hotel Hyatt Regency Moscow and residential district provide obvious advantages comparing to shopping centers on the Lengradskoe Highway up to Sheremetyevo.
We let the green park enter the interior design, united the past and the future. Legendary places, dynamic sports life was symbolically reflected in each detail of our retail area.
The Arena Park shopping center has an interior as unique as all the components of the complex itself with a bit of fashion, style, ecology, sport, and history. We all understood that the interior of this shopping center had to be unique as well. We decided to base its design story on three pillars: history, sport, and the park. And keep it distinctive with a slight touch of hedonism.

When we enter we are welcomed by quite modest black and white interior, but soon we find out that it’s not that simple. There are three huge niches based on an elliptical plan filled in with a mosaic inspired by those created by Dayneca for the interior of the Mayakovskaya metro station in 1938.
The shop fronts resemble the strict order of a 1920s exterior façade. And the original bas-reliefs done by the famous soviet sculptor Sergey Merkurov, which than decorated the north and south porticos were here used to embellish the entrance halls.
There are apparent references to the park nearby, such as the two green walls surrounding the elevator porticos, but a more observant customer will surely discover that the shape of the solid Corian benches inside the mall resembles the cast iron ones standing in the park.

5 Years History
It is breathtaking history, starting from parking documentation you have got the total task to emit full package of working documentation of whole stadium. So, for how many years the construction had been lasting?
We got first e-mail from client – march 2013. Last notice in author’s control book we did in September 2018. So it's been 5 years!
Which stages were the most difficult or memorable?
Guide drawings and Fine tuning
What are the general differences between both Manica's and Speech's design and the implemented one?
Manica made the concept. Speech made 3 building permits. We made Fine tuning to reach again things that were lost in between concept ideas and final building permit documentation during this 3 stages.
What are the main features of this sport building such as applicable number of spectators, number of arenas and their dimensions?
Stadium 26192 people
Arena (depending on scenario) up to 12 300 people
Main idea – arena and stadium connected with restaurant. Both arena and stadium lifted on level 8 meters above ground – to give space for retail center.
