The station lies to the south of the Obvodny Canal off the Moskovsky Prospect; the station is notable for the elegance and fine proportions of both the vestibule (by the architects A. S. Getskin and V. P. Shuvalova) and of the underground hall (by the architect B. N. Zhuravlyov). The vestibule is not large but looks monumental; this effect is achieved by means of large sheets of glass framed in aluminium on the vitrage of the main entrance and the precise and convenient planning of the interior. The pleasant and quiet decoration of the underground hall is completed by a bas-relief group in the centre of which is the figure of the outstanding Russianmilitary commander M. V. Frunze.
