Thomas is an accomplished project leader with over 10 years of professional experience designing mixed-use, retail, multi-residential projects. A sought after architect for bespoke private and large-scale residential properties across Australia set him on a trajectory to investigate ‘new ways of living’. He is at the forefront of next-generation of purpose-built student accommodation and championing alternative housing models; both characterised by a holistic approach to building sustainable communities.
“That’s my attraction to multi-residential work, to instill that level of individual care and personal material detail to each dwelling and these new modes of living that balances societal needs with commercial realities. Exploring these new residential models advances Hayball’s pursuit of uncovering sustainable visions for authentic placemaking.”
Thomas’ work includes numerous pioneering residential projects including at: La Trobe St student accommodation; one of the tallest prefabricated towers in the world, Melbourne Connect and Little Hall at the University of Melbourne, and Assemble Communities’ new and largest development in Kensington.
Thomas sits on the Hayball Board which is responsible for the overall Corporate Governance of the company.
