'lozenge' is correct and usable in written English. It is a noun that refers to a diamond-shaped candy. For example, "The lozenge was so sweet that it made my teeth hurt!".
In theory, then, one tiny lozenge of filo and ground nuts, dripping with tangy syrup, should be quite enough for anyone, perhaps two if they're particularly greedy – yet this week I discovered I'm quite able to put away half a tin of the stuff without coming up for air.
The largest swathe can be found across Old Oak Common and Park Royal: a 950-hectare lozenge to the north-west of the city encompassing several waste plants, some post-war warehouses and a clutch of crumbling railway cottages.

Riverlight, a series of lozenge-shaped blocks by Rogers Stirk Harbour and Partners, has much in common with their architects' monumentally expensive but otherwise unremarkable One Hyde Park in Mayfair, but not with its neighbours in Embassy Gardens (top-heavy rectangular buildings) or Battersea Power Station (curved blocks with irregular layers).
Work has also begun on a space-age lozenge-shaped media centre which will loom over the ground's "Nursery End".
