A bright new star goes live on YouTube: meet the makers of studio thonik, a groundbreaking building in more than one way

Completed in the spring of 2020, studio thonik is, by any standard, in a league of its own. After only a few months, the building is already one of Amsterdam’s architectural landmarks. It has made nondescript Wibautstraat, south of the city centre, a must-see destination, and its stunning, striped façades have become instantly iconic.

NEW YORK (September 1, 2020) — Trespa International B.V., a leading innovator in the field of architectural materials, announces that Todd Vezina has been named Commercial Vice President for Trespa North America. In this role, Vezina will be responsible for the day-to-day management and long-term development of the Trespa North America market to create sustainable growth for the region.

Following a comprehensive renovation, the school complex Condorcet Roussillon is now attractive, modern – and more fit for purpose than ever. For teachers and pupils alike, it has become a school to be proud of.

In Houilles, a city located in the Yvelines département in the Paris metro area, the market square looks better than ever after the comprehensive renovation of a large apartment complex consisting of several tiered buildings. C3A Architecture, the architecture studio in charge of the project, decided to play with material interactions: white mineral stucco, zinc cladding and Trespa^® Meteon^® panels have been used side by side. The latter were chosen for their complementary, warm brown finish reminiscent of oxidised metal and their outstanding durability.

Tromsø, Norway’s northernmost city, is located on an island well above the Arctic Circle. Tromsø has a population of nearly 80,000, and at such an exceptionally high latitude, there are only two other cities of similar or larger size anywhere in the world. Therefore, when Knut Brandsberg-Dahl of Filter/Arkitekter in Oslo decided to take part in the competition for a new school building, he was aware that the project would be unusual in more than one way.

High above the city centre, halfway between the mountains and the sea, there is a building that nobody can fail to notice: ‘U Pavayún’ proudly showcases the principality’s official colours – white and red – in a way uniquely its own. By combining vivid colours inspired by nature with a bold and modern architectural concept, the building maximises the visual impact of its ventilated façades.
