Expanded Mesh Electrical Substation Screen

The Xcel Energy Substations are 1-acre installations located in developing neighborhoods. The primary objective of the screens was to enhance the overall look of the neighborhood, and it was designed with the help of feedback from local community members. Forty thousand passersby enjoy these stations every day. The expanded mesh screen obscures the industrial electrical equipment and, at night, is adorned with lights that change color and fade in and out, giving the design a dynamic feeling.
