CZWG Architects LLP is a London-based architectural practice. Founded in 1975 by Nicholas Campbell, Rex Wilkinson, Roger Zogolovitch and Piers Gough, the ethos of the practice has always been based on strong design flair and good practical, economic sense. CZWG developed a skill in the transformation of existing buildings in terms of both function and appearance. This ability to re-interpret and rejuvenate the past seeded CZWG's major contribution to a new era of modern architecture. With the regeneration of London's Docklands, the practice grew into a substantial studio with a reputation for attractive and innovative high density housing — best known for buildings such as China Wharf, a bold red seven storey riverfront scheme flanked by listed warehouses, and Cascades on the Isle of Dogs; twenty storeys and built at a time when high-rise was still discredited as a form in which to live. In 2006 CZWG formed a Limited Liability Partnership. A strategy that has enabled the practice to embark on a wide range of projects that have extended our skills and kept the practice lively and growing. CZWG's Clerkenwell studio now boasts an established team of over sixty. The management team of eleven partners and nine associates are responsible as much for upholding CZWG's long-standing commitment to our contextual design philosophy, as for the firm's reputation for an inclusive and collaborative way of working. The prolific output of CZWG's built work covers a broad spectrum of development including masterplanning and urban regeneration, residential and mixed use, education, retail and leisure, workspace, arts and community and public spaces. After forty years pioneering housing typologies regarded as commonplace today, CZWG continues to develop innovative and memorable architecture within which it is a pleasure to live or work.
