Sixteen metres of moving water, on a net-zero power system.

The cascade is the front of the building and the whole of its power story. It runs on its own solar canopy and battery vault, and it keeps a fixed daily schedule.

Power comes off a 1.2 MW roof solar canopy through a smart inverter matrix into a 2.5 MWh LFP battery vault. A programmable logic controller drives variable-speed drives on the pumps and a DMX controller on the lighting.

Colour, on a schedule.

Spotlights sit inside the base filtration pool, angled upward at seventy-five degrees into the falling water. A DMX-512 digital automation board modulates the colour cycle: the national colours of Papua New Guinea in red, black and gold, and of Singapore in red and white, for state visits and international conventions.
