Tomás grew up near Wimbledon and went to school in London, where he saw the skyline build and develop. During family trips to rural Ireland, he began to explore making and craft by constructing small dams and dens in the forests.

Inspired by his art teacher’s philosophy of “stop thinking, just do” he went on from his school in Wimbledon to study architecture at Northumbria University creating a range or projects particularly interested in the vernacular heritage of the Northumberland landscape. After this he went onto Oxford Brookes studying his Masters which focused on looking at the relationship between digital and “human” design in a world with increased automation and augmentation.

Since joining Apt, Tomás has worked on various projects at different stages and scales. In particular working to deliver Medius House and The Earnshaw on Tottenham Court Road and more recently working on the façade package for 4 Portal Way.

Outside of this, Tomás is an associate lecturer at Oxford Brookes University, teaching a Master’s unit exploring timber, living materials and digital craft. He also captains the highly socially successful Apt touch rugby team.
