The ancient town of Archa (Arsk) was located on the high bank of the Kazanka river. The Fortress of Arsk, a border outpost founded in the XII–XIII centuries by Volga Bulgars, was also located there. Almost from the moment of its foundation there was a road that led to Arsk fortress and crossed the Kazanka river.

The new visitor center with a bus stop serves as one of the two main access points to the Pustevny mountain saddle. By considering both the transportation and natural context, we soften and enrich what was previously a purely utilitarian space. The project creates a refined and welcoming entry to an important location.
