The company Andrew S Thomas, Architect PLLC completed its last work in early 2019. Andy wants to thank all the company’s clients and collaborators over the 17 years it was in business.
Andy has retired from active practice, most recently working as senior architect with Environmental Works Community Design Center in Seattle. He continues independent research and collaboration into living environments and how they can best support humanity and its participation in the greater ecosystem it is a part of.
Andrew Thomas, as an Architect, has worked to provide excellence in architectural design, focusing on fitting the building to meet the needs of the users of the space. His work has seeked to embrace its environment, responding to its users, its context of place and in minimizing the impact of its own footprint. Integral to the work is the vernacular context, the landscape and urban surrounds, the measured use of material and energy resources and indoor environmental quality. Our best hope is to promote and express the particular liveliness of those who inhabit these spaces!
Andrew’s work, spanning from institutional to residential projects, has targeted that point which both fulfills the needs of the users and promotes stewardship of the larger environment. Design can integrate the users needs with attention to space, light, health, resources, materials, the natural world, connectivity and enjoyment.
Architect Andrew “Andy” Thomas, AIA, NCARB, LEED AP, in his work has always considered the place—contexts including the vernacular and regional, urban, natural and, especially, the served community– paramount in informing design. His hope is that the architecture, while serving the immediate needs, also brings to light some of the joy that is found in those places.
