Thomas is a designer and certified Passive House Consultant (CPHC) with experience in affordable housing projects across Massachusetts. He specializes in Passive House techniques and regulations, conducting THERM and WUFI analysis to ensure high-performance designs. Dedicated to sustainability, he stays current with trends from organizations like NESEA and Phius to incorporate the latest strategies into his projects.

As one of Studio G’s Regenerative Design Coordinators, Thomas helps deepen the firm’s technical rigor around building science, resilience, and long-term environmental impact—championing strategies that support both people and planet. He also serves as an IT Coordinator, helping to manage digital tools and systems that support collaboration and efficient project delivery.

Thomas believes every project bridges a gap in a place’s timeline, balancing respect for history with inspiration from present and future aspirations. His design philosophy focuses on creating spaces that serve the community by enhancing neighborhoods or supporting new businesses, ensuring each project becomes a lasting asset.

A firm believer in the importance of education and clear communication, Thomas works to bridge the knowledge gap between design professionals and clients by explaining complex sustainability concepts in approachable terms. He practices this with colleagues, clients, and even his own family, helping them understand new concepts and ideas from his research and conferences.

With a passion for history and community-focused design, Thomas approaches every project intending to create spaces that not only meet the needs of the present but also honor the past and contribute to a thriving future. He believes everyone deserves a place to call home and works diligently to make that a reality through thoughtful, sustainable design.
