Kuntsevskaya (Russian: Кунцевская) is a station of the Moscow Metro serving as a cross-platform transfer between the Filyovskaya and the Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya lines of the Moscow Metro. The station originally opened on 31 August 1965, as part of the extension of the Filyovsky radius, but on January 7, 2008 it was expanded and re-built as part of the Strogino-Mitino extension.
The 1965 construction was designed by Robert Pogrebnoy to a standard design of the 1960s surface level stations, with two identical glazed vestibules on each side of the Rublyovo highway, and two canopies extending over each of the platform ends supported by a single row of marble pillars.
The 2008 reconstruction was designed by Architect A. Vigdorov, and this added a new longer platform running parallel to the old one, larger modern vestibules, and extending the old platform to provide access over the Arbatsko-Porkovskaya's tracks via a glazed overpass. This was necessary as the old platform length was designed for the Filyovskaya's six-car-long trains, whilst the Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya presently operates seven-car-long trains, with likelihood of them being further lengthened to eight cars long.
The reconstruction also affected the usage of the platforms, as the station became the new terminus of the Filyovskaya line it only uses one end (northernmost). The second platform of the old station is the new service of the Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya Line towards Molodyozhnaya, whilst the new platform situated across the tracks is used for trains heading towards Park Pobedy (and after May 2008, Slavyansky Bulvar).
Architecturally the new platform sufficiently differs from its older neighbour which was the last of the 1960s surface stations of the Moscow Metro, built at time when the minimum resources was spend on architecture and engineering. It includes two vestibules, the western one has its ticket hall outside, whilst the larger eastern one ecompasses it into one large strucutre, marble and granite as well as new metalloplastic materials of orange and brown tones are used.
In the future it is planned that the older platform will also be upgraded with newer technology and decoration similar to its neighbour.
