Dalton Park: a fantastic makeover
Trespa UK Ltd
Pura® NFC by Trespa brings Pure Delight to Major Shopping CentreWhen the largest factory outlet shopping centre in the North East of England was given a makeover, Pura® NFC by Trespa secured a prominent role in providing the 70-plus retail premises with a fresh, modern appeal to customers.The £3million refurbishment, that included paving, lighting, landscaping and furniture in addition to shop front treatment, was given the go-ahead in 2017. And, says centre manager Jerry Hatch, ‘the overall impact and impression made by Pura® NFC siding was the stand out part of the finished article.”
Deaconess Hospital Mannheim
Trespa UK Ltd
Combining hygiene, function, ergonomics and visual appeal: a new operating unit shows the wayLocated in the northern part of Baden-Württemberg – the federal state closest to France and Switzerland – Diako Mannheim is one of the major hospitals in this area of Germany. It was founded in 1861 as the ‘Evangelischer Verein für Krankenpflege durch Diakonissen’. Meanwhile, the deaconesses are long gone and the eventful history of the institution – which even includes a temporary relocation in repurposed barracks – has given way to a healthcare facility that caters to 18,000 inpatients and carries out over 12,000 surgical procedures per year.As early as 2012, it had become clear that, as far as the operating theatres were concerned, there was ample room for improvement. The theatres were located wide apart on two different floors, while ancillary areas were in short supply and impractical. As a result, the hospital incurred additional expenses and a variety of inconveniences. To solve these issues once and for all, an ambitious project was initiated: the two operating theatres would be relocated next to each other and complemented by three additional, state-of-the-art theatres. The concept called for a brand new extension: the building permit was requested in October 2017, and the new operating unit was inaugurated in September 2021.
Decathlon Sportmarkt

Each panel’s satin surface finish gives the building a refined yet dynamic presence, enhancing natural light play and delivering a façade that is durable, low-maintenance and weather-resistant — perfectly suited to Augsburg’s urban environment. The gradient of deeper tones guiding visitors toward the main entrance reinforces wayfinding while expressing the brand’s active, forward-looking character. This architectural statement aligns with Decathlon’s mission to inspire movement and community engagement, pairing functional performance with a bold visual identity that turns heads and welcomes everyone — from weekend athletes to seasoned adventurers.

Detached House Veluwe
Trespa UK Ltd
Pura® NFC by Trespa as connecting factor between two building volumesIn close cooperation with Guus Vedder (2•1 Architecten), architect Hendrik Jan van der Valk (Van der Valk Woudst ra) has designed a modern villa, consisting of two main volumes. The villa was for a private client and is located in a rural village in the Veluwe region. One volume is used as living/ dining room and kitchen, while the bedrooms, bathrooms, playroom and technical area are located in the other.The client had a number of explicit requirements for the design of the villa which is located on a large plot in a wooded area. In addition to various aesthetic aspects, the villa had to be sustainable and energy neutral. The facades, roofs and floors were therefore very well insulated and of airtight construction. All window frames have aluminium profiles with optimum insulation and have triple glazing. The whole house is equipped with domotics and all installations are powered by the solar panels that were fitted; there is therefore no need for a gas connection.
Ever pharma
Trespa UK Ltd
A CLEANROOM SOLUTION DESIGNED FOR THE 'CHAMPIONS LEAGUE' AMONG PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIESThe Group's Kemmlit, a company based in nearby Dusslingen, was founded in 1967. In Germany and throughout Europe, it is one of the leading processors of HPL (High Pressure Laminate) panels; a material that Kemmlit has been using for 27 years. The company's core competencies include the installation of clean rooms, personnel airlocks and changing rooms at the highest level in Germany and abroad.For Ever Pharma in Jena, Kemmlit recently equipped the entire changing room area, personnel airlocks and pass-through cabinets up to cleanroom class B according to the GMP requirements.Ralf Stahl, Head of Cleanroom Division at Kemmlit, gets straight to the point: “Such cleanrooms clearly belong to the 'top class'. Class B - as specified at Ever Pharma - represents the highest level at which personnel still have access to the premises. Above this is only Class A, which must be operated completely free of personnel.” This high standard is an essential requirement for the pharmaceuticals produced by Ever Pharma in Jena: the site specializes in cytostatics and medication for neurological applications. Such high-end products must be manufactured under the highest hygiene conditions.

Garfield Center San Fransisco
Trespa UK Ltd
New Clubhouse Fits in Perfectly with Historic City Pool to Create a New CenterSpread across 3 acres in the Mission District of San Francisco is Garfield Square Park. A popular recreation hub for the community, the park includes a historically significant indoor swimming pool with its much loved culturally significant murals, clubhouse, basketball courts, and courtyard with BBQ facilities and splash pad. The pool and clubhouse had served the community for decades and were in need of updates to not only meet current code but also changing needs. The joint venture of PTA/TEF Design of San Francisco won the commission in 2016 and was tasked by the City of San Francisco with renovating the historic indoor pool and unifying it with a newly designed clubhouse and lobby.
Health Center Hohenstein
Trespa UK Ltd
A promising venture : the community healthcare centre in HohensteinIn the small city of Hohenstein, tucked away in the middle of the Swabian Jura, halfway between Tübingen and Ulm in Southern Germany, a recently built healthcare centre is breaking ground in more than one way. The innovative ‘PORT Gesundheitszentrum’, which has been endorsed and sponsored by the Robert Bosch Foundation, is using advanced technology – including an online eHealth platform – to provide the community with comprehensive medical services.
Hedlunda Pre-school, Umeå
Trespa UK Ltd
A trailblazing pre-school – in more than one wayIn Sweden, as in all Nordic countries, education is front and centre when it comes to societal priorities, and – unlike in some other places, where actual action sometimes falls short of intention – the country is allocating resources to the system that fully match its ambitions. This is nowhere truer than in Umeå. Located far up on the Baltic coast, 650km north of Stockholm, the city is home to slightly over 120,000 inhabitants. No less than 39,000 of them are university students!Higher education, though, is only one part of the story. For Jonas Kjellander, “Pre-schools are the most important buildings, because they lay the groundwork for everything that follows. That’s why I have specialised in pre-school concepts”. Based on this rather unique know-how, the architect, who is part of Sweco, Sweden’s engineering behemoth – with over 17,000 employees in 13 countries – spearheaded the team that won the architecture competition for the ‘Hedlunda Förskola’ in Umeå.
High School Dopiewo
Trespa UK Ltd
A winning combination: outstanding weather resistance with the look & feel of wood siding“For a small city like Dopiewo, which is located about 12km west of Poznań in the western part of Poland, a new high school highlights the city’s status as the centre of the‘gmina’ – as municipalities are called here in Poland”, says Bart Kosinski, trespa’s area account manager. “therefore, when the project was initiated a few years ago, the ambitions were lofty, as the city council wanted their brand new school complex to make a clear statement. It had to reflect at first sight the central part it would play in the local education system”.
iOhouse The Space
Trespa UK Ltd
Sustainable sophistication takes prefab to new heightsOver the last few years and in many countries around the world, so-called ‘tiny houses’ have become increasingly popular. At first sight, this evolution might feel counterintuitive: for decades, larger had been better. Spacious homes and apartments were widely seen as highly desirable, as the prerequisite of well-being, and as an indisputable sign of personal success.Then, several lifestyle and social trends started to converge, transforming a former certitude into a debatable choice. Could it be that when fully considered - the constraints of a conventional lifestyle outweighed its benefits? Was a 30-year mortgage really the asking price for happiness? Didn’t possessions, all too often, end up in clutter? How sustainable were large homes when private housing accounts for about 25 % of global energy consumption? Wasn’t the combination of flexibility and freedom the real ultimate luxury?

Manchester University - Sir Henry Royce Institute
Trespa UK Ltd
As the UK’s leading organisation for advanced materials research and innovation, the Henry Royce Institute plays a pivotal role in the country’s ambitions to develop groundbreaking materials and technologies, while fostering in parallel sustainable growth and development. Its purpose is to provide industry large and small as well as academia with the capability to develop, make, test and characterise innovative products, components and systems. To this effect, it provides easy access to state-of-the-art equipment worth more than £150m (175m euros) and to a highly trained support team. The Henry Royce Institute, known to many simply as ‘Royce’, operates from its brand new building at the University of Manchester and works in close coordination with eight additional, leading institutions across the UK – the Universities of Cambridge, Leeds, Liverpool, Oxford and Sheffield, the Imperial College London, the National Nuclear Laboratory and UKAEA (UK Atomic Energy Authority) – as well as Associate Partner, the University of Cranfield. All in all, Royce coordinates over £300m (350m Euros) of facilities, making it one of the global leaders in material science: it was at the University of Manchester, just a stone’s throw away from the new Hub, that graphene – a game-changing, carbon based supermaterial 200 times stronger than steel – was discovered for the first time.
Next Material House (nemho)
Trespa UK Ltd
The beauty of being bold: how to successfully open new horizons“Nemho, our new shared R&D centre in Weert, next to Trespa’s main office, fulfils a dual purpose. For all companies belonging to the Broadview group, it is a technology and competence hub”, explains André Horbach, CEO of Trespa. “At the same time, Nemho is highly instrumental in showcasing our products and know-how: the building itself and the premises are meant as a symbol of the group’s ambitions and search for excellence“. Pieter Peters, the centre’s director, adds: “The goal was also to create an environment that would attract top engineering and scientific talent. As far as high tech is concerned, there are quite a few renowned companies in our area. Therefore, it was equally important to offer an appealing and rewarding workplace – a place that would elicit a sense of pride”.

Palm Paper Factory Uetze
Trespa UK Ltd
Top-of-the-range lab solution for a major new production siteNext to the company’s headquarters in Aalen, 70km east of Stuttgart in Southern Germany, Papierfabrik Palm – one of the leading European manufacturers of papers for the printing industry, corrugated base papers and corrugated packaging – has built a brand-new paper mill. Its scale alone sets it in a category of its own: Palm invested half a billion Euros into the project, and to supply the production process with the required amount of steam, the site relies of the two largest water boilers in the world.This new paper mill, though, is just one of many milestones. Founded in 1872, Papierfabrik Palm operates in the meantime 33 production sites. In 2020, the company generated 1.5 billion Euros in global revenues. In terms of size and success, Palm epitomises the ‘hidden champions’ of the German economy – family-owned businesses that have combined highly professional management with ambitious international growth strategies to expand far beyond the usual boundaries of the category. In addition – and today more than ever – Papierfabrik Palm is ideally positioned to reap the benefits of sustainability: since its inception, the company has been using exclusively recycled raw materials.

Private House, Steeple Morden
Trespa UK Ltd
The form of the building was created by owner / developer David Grainger with Trespa® products in mind. He says: "Having seen this material used for offices in and around London and major residential apartment buildings, I decided to use the product on the house." He adds: "It was well worth doing, particularly in respect of the low-maintenance requirements of the product."
Residential Houses Hugh Webster Square, Hull
Trespa UK Ltd

Retail Park, Cumbernauld
Trespa UK Ltd
The use of Trespa Meteon® panels at Cumbernauld Retail Park gives the development a clean, contemporary retail identity that reads clearly at scale. The panels create a uniform, well-ordered façade, helping individual retail units sit within a cohesive architectural language rather than appearing fragmented.The matt/satin surface finish typical of Meteon panels reduces glare and provides a refined, high-quality appearance that remains visually consistent across large elevations. This is particularly effective in a retail-park context, where long façade runs demand materials that maintain visual discipline and colour consistency.The crisp panel joints and flatness of the system contribute to a precise, engineered aesthetic, reinforcing the perception of quality and professionalism appropriate for national retail brands.

Shelton Eastlake Apartment Complex
Trespa UK Ltd

The community is sandwiched between the city’s beautiful Lake Union and main freeway, creating a popular destination with limited real estate.

Right away the development team realized the success of their project hinged on creating an apartment complex that added both housing and character to the Eastlake community. Multifamily developments have a reputation for focusing on function, rather than form, to maximize profits.
Skating Club Boston
Trespa UK Ltd
Trespa® Meteon® Selected for Distinguished Skating Club DesignThe third oldest skating club in the United States, The Skating Club of Boston (also known as “The Club”) is home to a community of families, athletes, and professionals brought together through skating. Founded in 1912, The Club relocated its world-class training facility in 2020 in Norwood, Massachusetts. Studio Troika in Boston designed this new Olympic caliber facility. Partner Michael Samra said, “We wanted to make the entrance warm and inviting.” Trespa® Meteon® panels in NW02 Elegant Oak in Satin finish were selected.The Studio Troika team sought an exterior solution that would be both highly durable and low maintenance. Michael shared that they evaluated the total lifecycle cost of materials and knew the Trespa® Meteon® panels would look good year after year. “Knowing the height of the building, there is no one going up that high to maintain it.” The panels were face scored, a cost efficient use of materials, to give the look of siding.
Sommerlyst School
Trespa UK Ltd
North of the arctic circle, Trespa® Meteon® panels brave the elementsTromsø, 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.“We are a fairly small architectural firm that was founded in 1999, with two partners, Thomas Lærdal and myself, and a total of ten architects. Although we do housing projects as well, public buildings feature prominently in our portfolio – and among them, educational buildings are certainly a forte”, summarises Knut Brandsberg-Dahl. “This focussed expertise is important, because all larger public projects are competitions, and we need both good ideas and excellent credentials to win them. The Sommerlyst School in Tromsø was no exception”.
South Wolds Academy
Trespa UK Ltd
The South Wolds Academy’s new teaching and sixth-form facilities present a calm, contemporary presence on Church Drive, finished in high-performance external cladding selected for durability, low upkeep and architectural clarity. Carefully coordinated white and blue Trespa panels provide large, even planes that emphasise the building’s clean geometry and create a welcoming, identifiable campus landmark. The rainscreen and standing-seam elements used across the scheme deliver robust weather performance and long-term colour stability while allowing crisp detailing around windows and entrances — a design that balances practical longevity with a fresh, civic character.
Studio Thonik
Trespa UK Ltd
Stunningly different: a project with a mission in AmsterdamCentury-old, typically narrow brick houses, their gabled Renaissance façades reflected by the Old Town’s ‘grachten’, the ubiquitous canal system – this is the slightly clichéed picture conjured up by Amsterdam, and it could not be further away from bold, contemporary architecture. The Netherlands, though, have been a hotbed for modern art and radical design innovation since the 1920s: we owe to creative Dutch minds, from Piet Mondriaan to Gerrit Rietveld to Rem Koolhaas, some of the most disruptive evolutions in the way we interact with colours, shapes and living spaces. Accordingly, ‘studio thonik’– a new building in Amsterdam that has become instantly iconic – is not nearly as unexpected as it might seem at first sight.It is nonetheless highly unusual in more than one respect. A foray into architecture by a gifted graphic designer who is at the same time the building’s owner, it defied conventions right from the start. A multi-purpose construction with long term, built-in flexibility, it is sustainable not simply by its execution, but by its very concept. And with its dazzling striped façades, it has transformed a small, rather unpromising lot on nondescript Wibaustraat, the main arterial road south of the city centre, into an overnight landmark.
Tufts Library
Trespa UK Ltd
Trespa® Building Materials Clad Prominent New England LibraryThirty minutes south of Boston, Massachusetts sits the premier Tufts Library, originally founded in 1879. The town was in need of a new library building and determined they would demolish the old structure and start fresh. Building a new library became an opportunity for the town; the building would become the focus of The Landing district within Weymouth, a central area in town in the midst of revitalization. Specializing in education and library design, Tappé Architects was chosen to design the community’s new library and neighboring park. Principal Chris Blessen shared the important role that the new library would serve. “The goal of the design was to create interior and exterior public space to anchor the community.
