The owners of this charming winegrower's house, listed as a heritage site by the town of Morges, have undertaken a project to renovate their roof, opting for a solar solution. As the house is a precious testimony to the region's winegrowing past, they made it a priority to preserve its traditional appearance. After studying various options, they were won over by VDiamond Terracotta tiles, which combine aesthetics with cutting-edge technology. Their choice proved to be a wise one, allowing them to respect the visual integrity of the house while making it more eco-responsible.

The VDiamond Terracotta tiles blend harmoniously into the old architecture, mimicking the appearance of traditional clay tiles while offering the benefits of solar energy production.

The owners of this home have demonstrated a deep commitment to sustainable transition. Their house, respectful of its rich cultural heritage, is now an example of ecological modernity, without compromising on the aesthetics of the landscape. This pioneering project in Morges illustrates that heritage and innovation can coexist harmoniously.

This project was carried out in partnership with Impact Living, a consultancy specialising in energy transition. For the record, this company is renowned for its expertise in green energy solutions, but also for its creativity. When the roof was being installed, the team had the original idea of slipping the newspaper article that had inspired the owners to undertake the renovations under the tiles, as a symbolic gesture for future generations. This way, the next people to work on this roof in several decades' time will be able to see what was in the news in 2022. It's an elegant nod to our era of ecological transition.
