The architecture of the Saint John Chrysostom church complex in Peterhof is a synthesis of several traditions. The first one is classical, albeit somewhat reinterpreted, Byzantine architecture. It can be seen in the sacred buildings: the main basilica, the small church, and the baptismal rotunda with a monumental bell tower. These buildings are designed in brick with traditional plinthiform brick cladding and decorative elements. The second tradition is Soviet constructivism. Its choice is due to the environment of the future complex. It is a large constructivist student campus in Peterhof. The design also uses modern architectural solutions, both in the decoration of the facades and the design of the premises and their organization.
Contextual environment of the surroundings:
The complex consists of three parts. The largest one is the parish part, including the main church. The entire first floor of this part is occupied by parish premises, in particular, Sunday school classrooms. Their central link is a large atrium connected with all the premises of the first and second levels. There is also an assembly hall. To the west of it there is an open round inner courtyard, framed by an open gallery along the first floor and a closed exhibition space, also in the form of a gallery, on the second floor. The central atrium is connected to the inner closed courtyard through large glazing that can be opened in the warm season. The workshops, located to the south and east of the open courtyard, are also open to this courtyard. On the second floor of this part, above the Sunday school classrooms, there are administration offices and a large guestroom. There is also an exit to an exploitable roof, connected both to the inner parish courtyard and to the exhibition gallery and the main hall of the church, located to the south.
The main basilical church has a number of features. The raised choir galleries flanking the western part of the church on the north and south sides, and an extended prothesis with a small fence. There is a large transformable block for children of different ages, connected to the main church by internal windows. Children will be able to enter the main church for Communion through doors arranged in glass openings. The baptistery is a small rotunda with a baptismal font in the center and an altar. There is a special dressing room for those being baptized. The bell tower is accessible through an open area on the second floor via an unheated staircase.

On the north side, there is a large rectangular block with a social area and a hotel, as well as a sports block in the eastern part. The parish is engaged in active social activities, creating a developed system of social service able to accommodate and adapt people in need of social and medical work.
In the first block of this building, there are some large offices for group work and several smaller offices for individual work. There is also a small inner courtyard with a winter garden. On the second floor, above the social center on the western side, there are rooms for those undergoing rehabilitation.
On the northern side, there are rooms that can accommodate both guests and employees of the church complex. There is a sports block with a large multifunctional gymnasium.

In the north-eastern part there will be a small church, the first to be built.
By a long corridor, the church is connected to the student center, which has a small library and a café. The corridor can be turned into a sort of installation by interior design. From the outside, the church is framed by a circle of weathering steel, which is an interesting tectonic element attracting visual attention.
