On the south and north sides are galleries, expanding the main space of the temple. The galleries are also supposed to contain the Golgotha with a requiem table and an area for confessions.

On the second floor there are classrooms, offices, and a meeting room with the access through the balcony to the evacuation stairs. The ceiling height of the hall is higher than that of the other rooms on the second floor thanks to raising the roof structure. The passage to the choir gallery of the main church is made through the second floor. The passage itself can function as a separate room for Sunday School classes.

The sketch design of the compound is drawn up in accordance with the general architectural and construction regulations, in compliance with all necessary liturgical and practical requirements of the parish and in the context of the traditional architecture of the Orthodox Church.

The project was slightly modified during the negotiations with government agencies. The size of both temples has been reduced and the parish house was ruled out, instead of which both temples received basement floors.
