The design of the New Winery at Quinta da Marmeleira arose from the need to create new facilities, correctly sized and equipped to process 350 tonnes of grapes, with an estimated daily workforce of 20 permanent employees. Quinta da Marmeleira covers an area of 8.32 hectares.
The New Winery is intended to be a benchmark agro-industrial unit, equipped with the best technological conditions currently available, correctly sized and capable of performing its intended function.
The design presented reflects the technical and functional aspects of the production process - drawn up in close collaboration with an oenologist consultant - as well as the aesthetic and functional characteristics indicated by the client.
The New Winery will be located at the northern end of the property and consists of three volumes, namely the Main Building (housing the administrative services and complementary support areas) and two naves dedicated to production activities.
The building has a regular orthogonal plan and is made up of 3 floors, the first level of which is partially buried, making it possible to take advantage of the natural slope of the land to conceal its volume.
Thus, the main façade (facing south) is two storeys high (level 0 and level 1), with its central body being taller, so as to interrupt the horizontal continuity of the façade's cymatia, giving it greater volumetric richness, an aspect also guaranteed by the pediment on that body and the advances of the façade planes, giving rise to arcades.
The west façade also has a height corresponding to two floors, in an attempt to mitigate the industrial aspect of the two agro-industrial buildings.
The east façade has the greatest height, corresponding to three functional floors. This façade also sought to mitigate the industrial characteristics inherent in the two buildings that house the production areas.
Finally, the north façade shows a variation in height due to the development of the ramp at the back, going from a height of 2 to 3 storeys.
