Vadym Zhezherin and Mykola Zharikov, among the other artists and architects of the station, were bestowed the State Prize of Ukraine in the Field of Architecture for their work in 1991.

[10] It had a projected date of completion in 1986,[10] although the line's opening was delayed until the end of 1989 due to the economic state of the Soviet Union at the time.

The vestibule was built in the same way as with other stations of the Kyiv Metro system; it was first completed at ground level, and then lowered to its final location underground.

[4][5] However, due to the socio-economic changes taking place in the country at the time, the original design was scrapped because it was considered "too weak" for one of the city's main metro stations in a historically significant location.

[10] They were supported by architects Anatoliy Krushynskyi, Tamara Tselikovska, and Fedir Zaremba, who were responsible for designing the underground vestibule.

The central hall's height was increased, and the original design's pylons were replaced with much lower columns, finished off with white marble and matte polish.

[12] In particular, the white ceiling was divided with diametrical mosaic stripes with brick grouting on the sides, completed by artists Hryhoriy Korin and Volodymyr Fedko.

[11] The station is illuminated by two-tierd bronze chandeliers, each featuring 12 distinct lighting groups holding candle-like bulbs.

[12] Both the station halls and the underground vestibule feature similar light fixtures, although they are significantly smaller than the main chandeliers.

The Zoloti Vorota station features a number of distinct mosaic decorations, which were completed by artists Hryhoriy Korin and Volodymyr Fedko.

[11] There are a total of 80 large mosaic pieces; they run in a clockwise direction around the station, depicting the history of Kievan Rus.

On the side that leads to the exit to the city, a panel was installed depicting the patron saint of Kyiv, Michael the Archangel.

One of the mosaic panels at the end of the station near the escalators includes an inscription featuring a Ukrainian nationalist slogan, stating СЛАВА УКРАЇНІ, (Glory to Ukraine).

[1] Lastly, there are 32 mosaic pieces featuring simargls, which are mythical creatures in East Slavic mythology, often depicted as a winged lion or dog.

Each of the entrances are connected by a single vestibule in the city center near the Golden Gate, and Ukraine's National Opera building.
