Bogotá is a metropolis that celebrates the convergence of different architectures, reflecting a significant part of Colombia’s diverse culture and geography. Limited by the Eastern Hills, it is not only one of the highest capitals in the world, reaching almost 2,600 meters above sea level, but its history dates back to its foundation as the center of the New Kingdom of Granada in the year 1538.
The building is located on the border between the residential area of the marina of Ibiza and an area of floodable and cultivated land.

Set within a gently sloping site overlooking a small rural English village, Cotswolds House is a new five-bedroom home designed by London-based Oliver Leech Architects for clients Alan Moug and Andrew White.
The site is that of a typical Flemish home in an equally typical suburban neighborhood bordering the countryside. The client is a retired art books publisher willing to bring his collection home. The design proposes a separate architectural entity: a wedge-shaped volume clad in metal.

The building itself is conceived as a continuous playground, seamlessly integrating indoor and outdoor spaces, and organized around a series of interconnected technical cores.
