In a sunny corner of the Valais region, this uniquely charming residence, with its turrets reminiscent of a small castle, recently underwent a makeover to embrace a sustainable energy transition.
The new owner, keen to combine tradition and innovation, has undertaken a complete renovation of this exceptional property. Combining respect for heritage with modern ecology, he chose to equip three of the four roof slopes with Solaris™ Heritage solar tiles, which blend harmoniously with the building's elegant architecture. These tiles, installed on the slopes most exposed to the sun, cover an area of 195 m² and offer a total power output of 22 kWp, ideal in a region renowned for its strong sunshine and remarkable UV index.
To complete this green transition, the owner already uses a charging station for his electric car and plans to add a battery in the future, maximizing his energy autonomy.
This exemplary project showcases local expertise, with
Atelier Composite working on the architecture and
Carthoblaz SA on the tinsmithing and roofing. Set in the heart of the vineyards, this residence is a perfect example of how to reconcile heritage, aesthetics and sustainability. A source of inspiration for all those who dream of a more environmentally-friendly future.
