Triumfalnaya Square is a compound mixed-used object, one of principal center points of the city space. On the one part, it is the hard, intense junction of the northwest arterial highway of the city - Tverskaya street - Leningradskoye Highway and the Garden ring. On the other part it is the place which is surrounded by many business, administrative and design institutions - the points of attraction of intensive morning and evening streams of employees. The most obvious and powerful direction is the diagonal from the exit from the subway at the corner of the square towards 2-ya Brestskaya Street.

In days off and holidays all space of the square becomes a prom for people. Often, the square serves as a place for holding various actions, manifestations and so forth.

1. Transport solution.

At the 1st stage any radical transport changes are not proposed except for cancel of the turn to Triumfalnaya Square from Tverskaya Street and reduction in the width of passage after the turn from the Garden ring along the tunnel wall up to 2 strips. At the 2nd stage it is provided for the construction of the four-level underground parking for 380 parking lots. The extension of overhead cover over the tunnel enables to simplify the turn to Sadovo-Triumphalnaya Street and 1-ya Brestskaya Street and by that to make the territory of the square in front of the exit from Tchaikovsky hall free of car traffic.

2. Square.

At the 1st stage it is planned to pave the square with stone blocks with “carpet” inclusions in overall surface - and to lay a pedestrian diagonal stripe made of red granite.

For the future over underground garage it is intended to erect Sadovo-Triumphalnaya Arch named after Vladimir Mayakovsky which will present a platform with “The Garden” disposed at the height of 15 m. “The Garden” will consist of fruit-trees – cherry, apple trees, etc., planted in tanks with the depth of up to 1.8 m, filled with soil located between edges of bearing structures of the platform.
