Modern heat pump housing in front of a brick house

Heat pump housing meets brick façade: a deliberate contrast

Some projects live from tension rather than camouflage. This heat pump housing by DESIGA stands directly in front of a traditional brick façade, and the pairing is what makes it remarkable: here the lively, time-worn texture of the brickwork, there the straight-edged, modern cube of the surround. Two design worlds meet – and instead of competing, they raise each other. The housing shows what a considered design object can achieve in front of a building with history: it does not imitate the old fabric, it complements it – with clean edges, flush surfaces and a silhouette that keeps deliberately quiet.

Shielded from hail, rain and vandalism

Beneath the calm exterior, the surround does hard, practical work. It shields the heat pump from hail, rain and vandalism, and in doing so contributes to a long service life for the appliance: wear decreases, and the sensitive fins are no longer exposed directly to the weather or to a careless knock in passing. At a spot as visible as this one – right by the entrance – the second effect counts just as much: the view is considerably more attractive than a bare appliance in front of the door could ever be. Protection and presentation, in one built object.

For houses whose looks must not suffer

Many owners postpone the switch to a heat pump because they do not want to compromise the appearance of their home – an understandable concern with a well-kept brick house. The housing resolves that dilemma. Thanks to its timeless, reduced design, it is well suited to standing in front of and alongside buildings with character. The technology disappears, a deliberately designed element takes its place, and the façade remains the star of the ensemble. The decision for efficient heating no longer has to be a decision against the look of the house.

HPL by Trespa: as carefree as the brick wall behind it

Brickwork asks nothing of its owner – and the surround should not either. It is made from HPL (high-pressure laminate) by Trespa: UV-resistant, frost-proof and rainproof. The surface does not fade, rain washes dirt away, and painting is never required; the calculated service life is around 50 years. At the same time, louvres and calculated internal clearances keep the air paths of the heat pump free, so the appliance continues to work entirely without restriction.

Fabricated to the dimensions of the appliance

Heat pump covers from DESIGA are always made to the dimensions of the specific unit – independent of manufacturer, with or without a rear panel and louvres. In the configurator you enter the measurements of your appliance; the necessary internal clearances and the price are calculated automatically, so the surround fits the machine rather than the other way round – no forcing, no visible compromise, no gap where the eye expects a clean line. How the concept looks in grey with ventilation slots is shown by another of our references – same principle, different character.

Tone on tone with the brickwork or a deliberate modern counterpoint: the palette spans over 250 HPL colours and décors, and free colour samples arrive at your home beforehand – held against the real façade, they settle the question no screen can answer, namely which tone lets house and housing look their best in every light and season.
