Emphasis has been on reducing energy consumption and water usage and using low emission materials. Opening windows allow the use of passive engineering techniques. Cross-flow ventilation ensures reduced reliance on mechanical ventilation within the village spaces. Water harvesting helps supplement the building’s water needs. Triptych will generate its own electricity to support common area power and heating needs through micro-generation.

Comprising three distinct parts, the exterior of Triptych is beautifully textured and coloured, representing a contemporary stained glass garden. Coloured window panes intersperse down the length of the building, representing falling rain. The colours then ‘collect’ atop the aluminium garden façade that fronts the first several storeys. Owen calls this effect, “digital showers.” At the entrance, residents enter beneath a rich and leafy vertical garden, sustained by the building’s water harvesting system. The Artist’s Brief 1.
