In a semi-rural environment, adjoining low-density residential development, this three-storey electrical substation integrates with its surroundings.

Sympathetic colours and materials combined with an elegant sloping roof reflect the scale and corms of adjoining residential development. Natural ventilation systems, thermal mass, roof insulation and durable, low-maintenance construction materials make this an environmentally sustainable and cost-effective development.

Materials are robust and low-maintenance: clay brick, composite powdercoated aluminium fascia cladding and powdercoated aluminium louvres externally, and reinforced fire-rated concrete blockwork walls and fire-rated concrete ceilings internally.
