Cavill Architects

Sandy Cavill | Practice Director

Prior to the establishment of Cavill Architects in 2013, Sandy developed a particular area of expertise in commercial and public architecture while collaborating on an array of notable projects in former practice.

Of this earlier project work, it was Sandy’s experience in market retail design that led to one of Cavill Architects’ earliest commissions, ‘The Stores’.

Completed in 2015, this and other award-winning projects established the office’s reputation for civic-minded architecture and led to a number of increasingly important commissions.

Sandy continues to drive the office in its ambition for civic-minded contributions in projects large and small.
