Thomas Simms

Originally from South Africa, Tom (he/him) graduated from the University of Pretoria’s School of Architecture (Boukunde). After completing his studies, Tom had the opportunity to work in London at Brooks Murray Architects at the start of 2022 where he will be during his time at the LSA.

Living in South Africa exposed Tom to the profound inequalities embedded within the built environment and shaped by the country’s colonial history, which continues to influence its social and economic development. This lived experience had a profound impact on Tom’s architectural perspective in how design can create equitable and inclusive spaces that respond to sensitive social contexts.

Tom’s time in practice has seen him work across a range of projects from masterplanning developments around the U.K. to intricate infill sites and residential extensions in London.

During his time at the LSA he hopes to focus on exploring how thoughtful design can foster empathetic, community driven and socially inclusive spaces.
