Architect
Sandy Anghie is a Perth based architect committed to creating great homes for her clients. Whether it’s a new build, extension or renovation, Sandy believes the foundation of a great home is a collaborative working relationship between the architect and home owner - listening and working together to create a home that meets the client's needs and aspirations from a design and financial perspective.
Sandy's design ethos is about process - she understands that the process of designing homes is personal and for this reason does not have a set or predetermined style but works with her clients to ensure that the design for their home is the perfect solution for them. Sandy believes that the home owner should enjoy the design experience.
Sandy has three decades of experience across diverse fields, starting her career as a lawyer in 1997 before returning to the University of Western Australia in 2006 to pursue her passion and become an architect. Prior to starting her own architecture practice in 2015, Sandy gained experience in a wide range of architecture roles, including the Office of Government Architect, Syrinx Environmental and Hassell. For further details see Sandy’s LinkedIn profile.
Now, in addition to running her architecture practice, Sandy is the Chair and Co Founder of Perth Design Week, a dedicated public festival celebrating and showcasing good design. She is also a board member of the State Library of Western Australia and serves on Committees of the National Trust and Law Society.
Previous roles include WA President of the Australian Institute of Architects Australia’s peak body for architecture, editor of "The Architect" magazine, and contributor to online publishing platforms CO-architecture and The Property Tribune.
