Comoco can take all the credit for giving Pombal Castle in Portugal a rust-colored upgrade that has inspired the local community to reconnect with their illustrious history. After noticing that residents treated the hilltop castle as nothing more than a curious backdrop, the municipality commissioned the designers to create an intervention that would encourage more participation with what is nothing short of a national treasure. The result: a lightweight timber gazebo, a cafeteria clad in long-lasting corten steel, and a series of low-impact pathways that connect the castle's urban base with its regal summit.
