Three apartments, one building

Triplex means threefold or having three parts.

A triplex is a building divided into three separate dwelling units, analogous to a duplex with two: They converted the old house into a triplex.

The word also describes triple-layered materials, especially safety glass made of three bonded layers.

As an adjective, triplex appears in technical contexts describing three-part systems or structures.
