The power substation integrates sustainable design and urban functionality to redefine public infrastructure. Its double skin facade features solar panels on the south and east for energy efficiency, while planting troughs on green walls enrich the north and west. The southern facade reduces noise pollution and transforms the area into a linear park, creating opportunities for pedestrian activity and community interaction. This innovative approach highlights how essential infrastructure can contribute to both environmental and social well-being.
