The urban jungle has a new landmark development courtesy of an innovative design by Glas Architects and the bespoke façade solutions created by Trespa.

Making use of Trespa’s Meteon panels, the £2.1 million affordable housing scheme in Elephant and Castle, London, for housing association Family Mosaic includes latticed facades inspired by ivy vines.

Featuring shared ownership, social rent and large family-sized housing, the 21-unit development revived an existing brownfield site in one of London's most deprived areas.

At Trespa, sustainability is a culture which influences many of the decisions we make as a company.  To support our ongoing improvement initiatives, Trespa is pleased to announce the availability of Forestry Stewardship Council™ (FSC™) certification, in addition to currently offered Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification™ (PEFC™), for all its Trespa® Meteon® product range beginning in June 1st.  FSC™ and PEFC™ certifications are a clear way for Trespa to show our commitment to forest conservation and support of better forest management.

Trespa presented its new range at BAU Munich 2013 (14-19 January 2013) in an unusual booth designed by Trespa Studio.

Facade intervention for the XVIII Architecture Biennale 2012 of the eastern front elevation of the Estación Mapocho Cultural Center in Santiago de Chile.

This architectural intervention hosts the reception program and establishes a limit between the exterior plaza and the general mounting of the exhibit, generating a threshold and limiting three entrances to just one. These volumes were cladded  with Trespa® Meteon® panels, creating a variation of color that gives a third dimension to the intervention.

More innovative, natural looking façades add new dimensions to architectural design.

New York City's Department of City Planning recently saw its "Zone Green" amendment approved by the City Council. This new rule allows developers and building owners to add up to 8" more wall thickness to new buildings as well as existing buildings – without violating the limits on floor area or open area due to existing zoning rules.

‘Think Trespa’ is Trespa’s new worldwide magazine on excellence and meaningful, ventilated façades. The magazine aims to help architects, installers, contractors and clients to shape the world for the future.

The focus of the magazine is on exterior design: façade systems, façade parts and balconies. For both new buildings and renovation. Within ’Think Trespa’ 4 sections are mixed in a harmonious and unconventional way: reference projects, inspirations, technical information, product information.

From June 2012 nine new colours will be introduced to the Uni Colours collection. Each colour was carefully chosen through close cooperation with creative professionals.

They reflect various objects in the surrounding world, evoking emotions and providing more choice to create façades that tell a story.
