Savyolovskaya, Metro station in Butyrsky District, Moscow, Russia
Savyolovskaya is an underground metro station in the Savyolovsky District of Moscow, part of the Big Circle Line. The station has marble floors, granite walls, and large glass panels, and offers a transfer connection to the Serpukhovsko-Timiryazevskaya line through two underground lobbies.
The station opened on December 30, 2018, after construction started in 2012 and faced several delays. It was built as part of a northward expansion of the Moscow Metro network into this district.
The glass walls designed by Nikolay Shumakov let passengers see the raw tunnel structure behind the platform, which is rarely done in Moscow's metro. Most stations in the city use heavy stone cladding, so this open approach stands out clearly.
The station has two separate street entrances leading to different parts of the district, so it helps to check which exit is closest to your destination before leaving the platform. The platform sits deep underground, so escalators and elevators are available to reach it.
Although the station sits deep underground, the glass panels make it feel brighter than many other stops on the Moscow Metro because light reflects differently off glass than stone. This design element was planned for the new generation of ring stations but was only applied in a few of them.
