After graduating with a Master of Architecture degree from the University of Florida in 1982, Bert worked at various architecture firms, earning experience under the likes of Harry MacEwen, J. Pride-Rodriguez, and Jim Robbins.
Prior to opening his own private architecture firm in 1984, the experience gained as a general contractor and architect under the guidance of these established local architects enabled Bert to not only elaborate creatively, but also successfully manage a project from initial concepts to completion of the building.My experience as Thomas Construction Company, then Thomas Development Corporation, and for the last thirty-plus years as Bert Thomas Architect, is an ever-learning and rewarding one.
The value of an architect who was also once a general contractor enables a project to flow smoothly and escape many of the pitfalls that can occur in any project. Being a part of a community that values unique, creative, and interest-inspiring projects is exciting, and I look forward to meeting the people that are part of, and will be part of, this collaborative process of design.

We have the privilege of doing the historical renovation on a bungalow style house in historic Hyde Park, located just outside Hyde Park Village.
Currently in progress, you will see that the steps to the finished product aren't always pretty, but the end result is worth it.
Fun fact: this was Bert's family home as a child!
The family sold it in 2009, and now Bert has the opportunity to reinvigorate its original charm.

The Tigers' Den houses the workout and training facility for the student athletes at Jesuit.
We had an opportunity to help leave our thumbprint on the Tampa community by working alongside Jesuit High School in their campus revitalization.
Steeped in rich tradition, our small firm worked to pay homage to the history of the Jesuit Order, incorporating small artistic details in each aspect of design.
Highlighed in this album are the following: the brick fence enclosing the campus and Main Entrance; the Walk of Honor, with small monuments to recognize accomplishments of students; the iconic Remembrance Tower honoring the Jesuit Order, a focal point of the campus; the Men for Others contemplative structure; the Tiger's Den, housing the workout facility, new wrestling facility, and locker rooms; renovation of the old rectory into administrative offices and the board room.

Feeling "at home" is one of life's greatest treasures.
For The Bridges Retirement Community, we worked to design a functional facility that was aesthetically pleasing, cost effective, and a welcoming home for their residents.
Along with the residence building, we designed a clubhouse for entertainment purposes- complete with a half-shaded pool area, view of the lake, and formal dining/bar area with a fire place.
Check out this one-of-a-kind assisted living facility located in Riverview, FL!
A very tight urban site in a historic district required responding to both the needs of the owner as well as the requirements of the community.
