Perth architect Sandy Anghie is actively engaged in the community, dedicated to promoting Western Australian architects and architecture.

Alongside her residential work, Sandy is currently President of the WA Chapter of the Australian Institute of Architects, serving in the role since January 2022.

In 2023 Sandy co-founded Perth Design Week (PDW) with designer David Smith. PDW’s program is open to the public with over 80 events across the city and beyond.

As editor of WA's The Architect magazine from 2018 to 2023, Sandy was responsible for reimagining the publication for a broader audience. She remains a contributor to the magazine, as well as the CO-Architecture and Property Tribune online platforms. For several years Sandy wrote a newspaper column called “Meet the Architect” introducing WA architects to a broad audience.

Through her role on not-for-profit project Historic Heart, Sandy worked with the city’s major stakeholders to revitalize Perth's east end with public art and landscape initiatives. The project included documenting the heritage architecture of the neighbourhood, creating an App, website and brochure series.

Sandy’s commitment and contribution to architecture has been recognised in two awards – 2020 WA Emerging Architect Prize and 2018 NAWIC Social Responsibility Award.

In addition to architecture, Sandy holds degrees in law and commerce, starting her career as a lawyer in 1997 before returning to university to pursue her passion and become an architect.
