Kalliope Kontozoglou studied architecture at the Polytechnic of Central London (University of Westminster) under David Greene’s tutelage and in 1981 obtained her Diploma in Architecture from the Architectural Association, having attended Dalibor Vesely’s atelier.

After receiving her Diploma she cooperated with Tim Ronalds in various projects between 1982-1988. Her last project while at Tim Ronalds’ office, The Jackson’s Lane Theater won “The Sunday Times-RIBA Community Award”.
