A detailed architectural model of the Lakhta Center, a mixed-use skyscraper in Saint Petersburg, Russia, is displayed on a table. The model showcases the distinct twisted design of the main skyscraper and other surrounding buildings. The table itself is an illuminated display depicting a city landscape with roads, water features, and what appears to be forested areas, with a prominent display of the blue waters of the Gulf of Finland and a portion of the city.
