The transformation of the abandoned territory (36, 7 ha) near the Petersburg Sports and Concert Complex into a seamless complex of track & field arenas is based on the imagery of the Solar system. The existing Sports and Concert Complex acts as the core of the composition. It is surrounded by circular structures – stadia, multi-level car parks, transparent domes over the atrium spaces, outdoor courtyards.

A single stylobate 9m in height unites both the existing and the new structures into three groups. It accommodates various functions (service, retail, etc.), as well as recreation spaces, such as indoor tennis courts, volleyball, basketball, futsal, badminton pitches. The landscaped roofs of the stylobate act as park zones for promenades and sport practicing (i.e. outdoor tennis courts).

Derelict spaces around the Sports and Concert Complex receive new functions and attractiveness for the inhabitants of the city.
