The department store is situated at an exposed location at the harbour of Sevastopol and forms an eye catcher when seen from land or sea. The facade runs around the building where the vertical lamella imitate the movement of a wave and are illuminated at night. The complex is based on a square floor plan, which spreads over seven stories. Above the at the diagonal positioned main entrances the facade forms a shop window, which can be used by the retailers for personal display. Internally the building is arranged through a series of escalators that are positioned within the at the long side of the facade running galleries.
