Station A opens the Funkytown Campus to the northeast and begins the row of buildings along Rummelsburger Landstraße. At this point, a dynamic building corner with projections and recesses sets a striking architectural accent in the urban space.

Large-format windows emphasize the idea of ​​arrival and outlook, opening up specific sightlines to the city, the Spree River, and the historic Funkhaus (Berlin Broadcasting House).

With the transformation and revitalization of a property and an existing building on the site of the former GDR broadcasting center on Rummelsburger Landstraße – in the immediate vicinity of Funkhaus Berlin and the Spree River – the Berlin-based project developer Trockland is opening a new chapter in the urban development of the Treptow-Köpenick district.

While Graft designed the main building, "Station A," seven other Berlin architectural firms developed the other buildings: Julian Breinersdorfer, Grüntuch Ernst, KSP Engel, Hillig Architekten, LAVA, LXSY, and Tchoban Voss Architekten.

Three element types – transparent, semi-transparent, and closed – are planned for the façade of Station A, which can be combined in a modular system. These allow the interior spaces to be tailored to their individual needs, alternating between them to create a vibrant interplay of depth, character, and functionality.

White-painted aluminum louvers provide solar shading and, in terms of design, echo the verticality of the neighboring broadcasting center – translated into a modern architectural language.
