‘triptych’ house rendering
the ‘triptych’ house was designed by chinese architect yungho chang. arranged into three glazed towers; gold, silver and silk the house offers panoramic views from every room in the dwelling. consisting of three levels the house has a singular space on each floor. the towers on the upper levels are connected not with corridors but with a series of bathing facilities.
the structure of the house is a steel frame. the main columns are subdivided in such a way that translucent folding sliding screens for sun shading can be stored within them. the finishes of the screens give the three towers their color.
the inward pitched room form further opens up the house to views and allows cross ventilation. the ‘triptych’ house was designed as part of the next-gene 20 project.
