Walnut Factory / ARC Arquitectos

The Nogam Walnut Factory is located at Herdade das Atafonas, in the Municipality of Évora, and has around 11000 sqm. An attempt was made to implement the walnut processing unit in order to respond not only to legal constraints but also to programmatic and geographic constraints. Starting from a triangular reference shape given by one of the legal conditions, it was decided to follow this shape and distribute the program around a central courtyard.
