New Rythms Perspectives concept
Trespa International has launched four new design concepts for building facades, using Trespa Meteon panels. The new concepts are a part of Trespa Perspectives, the inspirational source of new ideas for architects, designers and specifiers, comprising different architectural elements based on the themes of Rhythm, Depth and Character. All four new concepts fall within the theme of Rhythm.
The four new concepts demonstrate how Trespa Meteon panels can be used to create a decorative skin that helps to create a unique facade. By using the panels to create extra skins and sunblinds to envelop the building, its overall appearance can be changed and enhanced.
Each of the four new concepts suggests a different approach. They range from panels used to create sunblinds that show regular or irregular color patterns to the use of space or multiple layered constructions for unique visual effects.
Surprising Connections
The banner concept provides strong support without ever being predictable, while combining aspects of power and vulnerability. In this design, long fluently routered Trespa panels are used. Sets of two identically shaped panels are attached to a vertical channel.
Added space
Using panels with cut-aways or indentations, forms can be created by omitting the expected. The wave concept enables you to draw attention to the overall design and give shape to the empty space that is left behind.
Beyond the surfacae
The surface may be only skin-deep, it usually hides what lies beneath. Not so in the skin concept, where beauty is created through showing – or hinting at – the layers beyond. By using two or more layers of Trespa panels with a pattern, you can create a unique visual spectacle.
The perfect balance
There is no right direction. The Domino concept uses panels that point in different directions all at once. Nothing is ever as straightforward as it seems – and there are many ways to achieve the unexpected
Frank Smolenaers, Market Manager Façade Systems of Trespa International, explains: “Trespa produces a range of panels with exceptional qualities. Trespa Meteon is a unique material that allows architects and designers to create expressive and eye-catching facades.” In addition, Trespa Meteon panels are colourfast and impact resistant, so the design will remain the way it was intended for many years. Trespa offers sustainability and durability in combination with a responsible approach to environmental and economic aspects.
Throughout 2009, Trespa will introduce more new concepts and ideas. This demonstrates Trespa’s continued drive to inspire architects and its ability to translate extraordinary ideas into durable and fascinating highlights in the urban landscape. Trespa International has already successfully showcased Trespa Perspectives at a number of major 2009 trade shows for the Building & Construction industry. These include:

Trespa understands that nothing inspires more than the reality of the applications – and it is for this reason that at each of these Trade Shows, Trespa will feature life-size examples of the latest design possibilities and trends.
The designs shown are for inspiration only. They have not been tested. Although it is possible to create similar effects, the actual designs that can be realized depend on the location of your building and circumstances. Design and required fixing systems can also influence the possible end result. Trespa Meteon is CE marked and fully complies with the EU standard. Always check if the desired design is in accordance with any national and/or local building regulations and specifications.
