The Christiania substation is a unique building. The corner tower consists of Gothic-style clustered pillars rising above the ground without a base, and narrow, extraordinarily tall window panels that cut into the projecting cornice with a pointed arch. The taut, steep structure, reminiscent of Gothic tracery windows, suggests concentrated energy. Transformers and busbars were arranged on six floors.
