The architectural concept of the vestibule is based on the theme of St. Petersburg Obvodny Canal.

The walls are decorated with glass panoramas made using modern "laser printing" technologies. The total length of the panorama is 300 m. The glass shows views of the pre-revolutionary Obvodny Canal. Polished white marble was used in the wall cladding, and the floors of the station were faced with gray granite.

The transition corridor leading to the escalator tunnel is decorated with steel structures that imitate the structural elements of industrial buildings.
