Vantaa Energy’s new substation in Varisto, Vantaa, started operating in December 2023. The substation significantly enhances the area’s electricity transmission capacity. The architecture of the station not only supports functional needs but also transforms the building into an iconic landmark and a new meaningful place. It is not the building volumes, but the void they create, that gives identity to the site. The Varisto site is a place where two environments with diametrically different energy levels interact: the busy Ring Road III and a tranquil field opened towards nature reserve. This contextual vibrancy combined with electricity as a phenomenon is at the core of the architectural concept. The substation becomes an architectural metaphor for an electric field created by two charges of opposite polarity. Design: Olla Architecture Video: Martin Sommerschield, Kuvio

Wow, it's impressive how Vantaa Energy's new substation in Varisto is not just about functionality but also about creating something iconic and meaningful. It's fascinating how they've turned something as mundane as a substation into a symbolic representation of energy interaction.
