Casa Nespolo

Casa Nespolo, situated in Rivoli, Italy, has been recognised as Trespa International’s Project of the Year 2023, standing as a testament to the integration of contemporary art within residential living spaces. The project emerged from a collaboration between two established construction companies in Turin’s metropolitan area and Prof. Ugo Nespolo, an acclaimed painter, sculptor, and lover of beauty in art. The goal was to create not just a real estate investment, but an ‘artefact’ that embodies a “macro-design” concept, immersed in a green park, in the centre of Rivoli, close to the most important services.

Facing the challenge of integrating modern living within a specific urban context, the selection of Trespa^® Meteon^® panels played an important role due to their durability, low maintenance, and aesthetic versatility. These panels allowed the designers to achieve a contemporary look with vibrant colours and distinctive shapes that harmonize with the building’s environment, striking a balance between innovation and tradition.

"Trespa was chosen for its wide variety of colours available, different shades of green, to create the idea of a vertical forest in movement," explained architect Marco Bo. "Trespa panels allowed to be cut in non-standard shapes that gave a sense of movement generated by the wind."
