Designed by architects V. Gnevyshev, M. Alyoshkin and T. Tselokovskaya, Pecherska is a composition that was finalised still under Soviet influence, but slightly re-modeled prior to its opening in mid-1990s.

Both the suspended vault and the open regions (a pattern which repeats the steps of the pylons) are faced with white and brown aluminium boards respectively.

Lighting is provided by Sodium lamps hidden in the ends of the ceiling and by an additional long cross shaped elements that run the length of the vault in the central hall.

Pecherska is named after the Pechersk historic neighborhood in Kyiv, located south of the city centre on the right bank of the Dnieper river.

Its only underground vestibule is located on the corner of the Mikhail Kutuzov street and Lesya Ukrainka boulevard.
