Sandy Vile

Architect

Sandy joined O’DonnellBrown in 2022 and has quickly become a valued member of the team, contributing to projects with a focus on retrofit, conservation, and heritage. He combines strong technical understanding with a sensitive, context-driven design approach, ensuring that historic buildings are preserved and enhanced while meeting contemporary needs.

Before joining O’DonnellBrown, Sandy worked in London on a range of design-led projects, including an installation for the 2018 Venice Biennale. During his studies, he was awarded the Chairman’s Medal by the Glasgow School of Art for his thesis on the Govan Graving Docks and was nominated for the RIBA Silver Medal.

Alongside his role at O’DonnellBrown, Sandy is a part-time tutor at the University of Strathclyde, teaching first-year architecture students. A proficient model maker, he brings a hands-on, exploratory approach to his design process. His work reflects a commitment to thoughtful heritage, sustainable design, and meaningful responses to context and community.
