Exterior
The project is distinguished by a combination of historically preserved stadium elements (pavilions, staircase, fountain) and high-tech solutions such as roll-out field and retractable roof.
Exterior silhouette of the arena reminds an air ship-saucer landed on the island. A massive arena dome is supported by 8 masts and forms the image of a sailing ship which harmonically inserts an extra-terrestrial facility in the surrounding sea landscape.
Material used for covering retractable dome section – translucent ETFE film apart from its main purpose – protection of the stadium from precipitations and heat retention, may serve for projecting the image inside a roof.
Finishing of the stadium’s bowl will be made from state-of-the-art materials in silver-gray color range will underline constructibility of the new sports facility. Apart from this, it will provide opportunities of colorful dynamic illumination of the building.
To finish the base of one of the biggest stadiums in Europe, aluminum composite panels Alubond will be applied, which were used in the construction of famous buildings such as the Burj Khalifa Tower in Dubai, W-hotel in Barcelona, Cairo and Sharm el-Sheikh airports.
For stadium glazing products of the world leader in the industry - the Japanese company AGC will be used. AGC products can be seen on objects such as Skolkovo Business School, Moscow City tower, Domodedovo and Sheremetyevo transport complexes.
