Ryde 132/11 kV Zone Substation

Buffalo Road, Ryde

This major three-storey substation houses technically sophisticated and innovative equipment designed to meet the Ryde area’s electrical supply needs into the future. Yet it uses forms, details, materials and colours to modestly blend into its residential context.

In harmony with the existing street character, carefully modulated building forms, hipped roofs, sympathetic m aterials and articulated street elevations enhance the public realm and architecturally link Ryde’s past to its future.

Natural ventilation systems, thermal mass, roof insulation and durable, low-maintenance materials ensure the environmentally sustainable design outcome.
