Creating a shopping mall and a brand new Metro station under one roof needed a contemporary look worthy enough to attract St Petersburg’s fashionistas.

And it’s Colorcoat Prisma® which gives the new Volkovskaya Metro Station and Radius shopping mall its fashionable frontage.

Glossy exterior of glass and cream

Clad in luxurious Cream, a Colorcoat Prisma® colour inspired by the delicate, sumptuous shade of whipped cream, the Volkovskaya Metro Station was built as part of the major expansion of the St Petersburg Metro, one of the deepest subway systems in the world used by an average two-and-a-half million passengers every day.

Contemporary look with a fashionable frontage

The five-storey building above the Metro station houses various retail stores and major brands over three of its floors, as well as a business centre on the fourth and fifth levels.

Thanks to Colorcoat®, there’s no doubt this rich, glossy exterior of glass and cream has put Volkovskaya Metro station firmly on the map.
