Three cable railway stations en route to “Wolkenhain“ (“cloud grove”)

The facades of the cable railway stations named “Gardens of the world“ and “Kienbergpark“ are on the two long sides glazed with Rodeca tongue and groove panels type PC 2550-10 in opal colour.

The milky white colour tone arranges for a pleasant light diffusion inside the half-open building. It integrates smoothly into the closer environment without being obtrusive. For both cable railway station approx. 1100m² of panels have been installed and afterwards decorated with foil lettering.

Railway concept is a direct connection by monocable from the start in Berlin Hellersdorf at Kienbergpark station and westwards from the IGA area arranged station gardens of the world in Berlin Marzahn.  The cable railway is divided into two sections and has an interstation at Kienbergplateau.

The station buildings have been developed from a superior concept which summarizes all three stations thematically. The constructions of the cable railway shall integrate into the environmental context.  From this assumption the draft of a green wave which grows out of the ground and which thanks to the roof greening flows over the station building and makes it this way to a part of the landscape.
