The practice

Architecture grounded in craft, context, and close collaboration

Founded in 2009 by Nicholas Zervoglos, the practice delivers architecture and design for private clients, developers, and estates across London, the UK, and internationally. Our approach treats every project as an opportunity to create lasting value — for the people who use it, and the places it occupies.

Background

Twelve years at Richard Rogers Partnership

Nicholas studied at the Architectural Association, London and the University of Cambridge before joining the Richard Rogers Partnership — now RSHP — where he worked for over a decade on an exceptional range of projects: from street furniture and product design to the Millennium Dome on Greenwich Peninsula, Terminal 4 at Barajas Airport in Madrid, and a wide range of international masterplans.


That breadth of experience — working at the intersection of detail and city scale — informs everything the practice does today. The majority of current work is private residential, both in London and internationally, alongside commercial and listed building projects.
