Sophie Ryder
Architect
BA(Hons) | MArch | PGDip
During her time at CZWG, Sophie has worked across residential-led and mixed-use projects from early design and planning through to technical delivery and construction. Her experience spans large-scale regeneration, social housing, waterfront developments and complex urban sites, with strengths in design coordination, BIM and the development of projects through planning and delivery stages. Most recently, she played a key role in Deptford Reach, an 800-home cross-borough regeneration scheme in Deptford, where she led the design and coordination of three residential buildings, including an 11-storey social housing block and two private sale towers, alongside contributing to stakeholder engagement and the planning submission.
Her work combines design development with a strong understanding of technical delivery. At Sydenham Hill, a 110-home social rent development, Sophie worked across Stages 4–6 and acted as BIM Lead, coordinating architectural and consultant information through construction and gaining experience of detailing, site delivery and complex technical issues. Her earlier work on East Riverside, Poplar also gave her significant experience of developing large-scale residential and mixed-use proposals through planning.
Sophie has a particular interest in sustainable design, material reuse and the circular economy, and how these principles can be embedded within architectural practice. At CZWG, she has contributed to sustainability initiatives and developed guidance around embodied carbon workflows and the use of digital tools to support informed design decisions.
Sophie qualified as an Architect through the University of Westminster, having completed her undergraduate degree with Honours and her Master of Architecture with Distinction at the University of Kent. During her studies, she was awarded the Technology Prize and nominated for the RIBA President’s Medals Silver Medal for research exploring the application of circular economy principles within architectural design.
