The projected building is a church designed for a congregation of 150. The architectural appearance of the building blends recognizable elements of Orthodox stone religious architecture from various periods. The church is designed with 3 above-ground floors and 1 underground floor. At the same time, the main volume is single-story and triple-height. The second floor houses the choir loft and its utility room, as well as a ventilation chamber. The third-floor level houses a second ventilation chamber, with the main functional purpose of this level being to provide access to the open deck of the attached bell tower. The basement of the church contains a lower church with an altar, a small refectory, a church shop, as well as utility, service, and engineering rooms. In structural terms, the building features a monolithic frame with mineral wool insulation and a half-brick exterior wall finished with smooth and textured plasters. The interior volume is pillarless (the dome rests on arches).
