At Mikhail Riches Thomas has contributed to a variety of projects, across a range of scales and stages. Most recently Thomas has been working on the detail design for Owlstone Croft, a Passivhaus post-graduate housing scheme for Queens’ College Cambridge.
Before joining Mikhail Riches, Thomas studied at the Bartlett School of Architecture, graduating with 1st Class Honours. There he developed a keen interest in materiality and strong sense of architecture as a civic practice, inherently engaged with the societal and environmental challenges of our time. His final project proposed the rewilding of a golf course and construction of a centre for local politics, informed by participatory and regenerative programmes such as communal food growing and supported by the creation of a circular material economy for maintaining and adapting the building into the future. The project reasserted the social value of ‘the commons’ and modelled alternative and more equitable uses of natural land.
Alongside his work Thomas regularly volunteers with charities and communities at the intersection of environmental and architectural action, aiming to contribute his skills and gain knowledge at a hands-on level.
