Maison Datcha - Pavillon de la Russie

A PIECE OF HISTORY  Definition of a Dacha («дача» in Russian): Slavic second home located in the countryside.

The Datcha, also known as the Pavilion of Russia, embodies a piece of history. This building emblematic of Russian architecture took part in the 1878 Paris Universal World’s Fair. Since it was first held in 1851, this exhibition has always aimed to showcase the technical and artistic skills of different nations. The choice of square tiles was an obvious one at the time, given the Russian architectural heritage, as wooden shingles were common in the country’s typical towns and villages.

Moved from the capital to Nogent-sur-Marne, the pavilion is now a private residence. During its renovation, the company ACORUS TECHNIBAT opted for our RHEINZINK-GRANUM skygrey range for the roof and ornamentation. 
The square tiles were manufactured at our French production and shaping site.
