Once de Barsy had the primary façade de ned, “I needed another Trespa texture for the rest of the building as well as for the top oor,” he explains. “I envisioned a black colour. What better to contrast with Wood Decors?” ankfully, in 2016, “Trespa introduced me to a new range: Trespa® Meteon® Lumen with Di use nish. is product has the distinction of having no re ection.” A er a test, de Barsy chose the Di use Lumen Black Metropolis for the rest of the building. “Once landed next to the Trespa Pura NFC® façade, the Lumen rede ned the appearance of three shades of Pura. e choice was not easy, no reference existed at the time I was making the order. e three Trespa Pura NFC® and Trespa® Meteon® Lumen were the rst of their kind to be used in the world.” Ultimately, for the 1,000-square-meter space, de Barsy covered it with almost 800 square meters of Trespa® façade in addition to 250 square meters of windows. “I have achieved and created the façade that I wanted for my house,” he says. “An important aspect for me was the use of façade materials that were able to highlight my architecture without monopolizing my architecture. Indeed, the front of my house must a rm the interior architecture, the façades must remain a result and not a goal in-and-of itself.” For the rest of the house, he used rough concrete stripping; varnished raw steel, wood and glass for the stairs; black or light crude timber for the oors as well as polished concrete and anthracite-coloured Mosa tiles. One of the best moments to catch the overall e ect of de Barsy’s stunning home is during the golden hour of sunset. “ e Di use Lumen Black Metropolis has a special e ect in the sun. e surface seems subdued, there is no re ection of the sun nor any glossy-like feature. is is particularly hard to describe, you have to see it in real life. When we took pictures of the façade, we felt that the photos looked like 3-D simulations and not real photos. is is really special.” And while he is not looking to sell his house, he would be up for building another one just like it for somebody else. ■ 42 Subdue the Sun Imagine Trespa
