When architect Bernard de Barsy, founder of ab+, wanted to build his home and o ce in the small village of Boulaide, Luxembourg, he was particularly taken by the nature of the land and panoramic views. Indeed, nestled in a river valley just east of Belgium, this northern region of the Grand Duchy, part of what’s called the Oesling, o ers beautiful fall colours among its forested hills. In the village, most of the houses are two storeys made of stone and painted in creamy shades with white or brown trim, or more boldly in orange or blue. Popping up on some of the roo ops these days are solar panels a re ection of the townsfolk’s sunny optimism as well as their support for renewable and sustainable energy. Just outside of the village, several wooden farm houses dot the landscape. And it is here, on road that not even Google maps has toured, where de Barsy made his home. “I constructed my house on the edge of town to make the most of the fantastic countryside scenery,” he says. In fact, the farmers use of wood façades provided the architect with the inspiration for his design. “I wanted a contemporary interpretation of these wooden façades to emphasize the volume of the central part of my house.” But he also required energy e ciency in order to build a home that met the standards of a passive house with a low- carbon footprint. e intrinsic qualities of Trespa® Meteon® achieved this goal, but what really sold the architect on purchasing Trespa® panels for his façade was their signature colour stability and the varied patterns he could create using the di erent nishes. “What I like most about my home is, rst the relationship between my house and nature,” he says, adding as well how it communicates with the world around it and “the dialogue between interior and exterior spaces.” But also importantly, was “the choice of materials.” About the Project ARCHITECT AB+, BERNARD DE BARSY MARKET SEGMENT INDIVIDUAL HOUSING / COMMERCIAL OFFICES YEAR 2016 TRESPA ® PRODUCT TRESPA ® METEON ® LUMEN TRESPA PURA NFC ® FINISH DIFFUSE (L9000), MATT AS OF JANUARY 2017, THE TRESPA PURA NFC ® HAS BEEN EXPANDED WITH NEW COLOURS.
