THE CHRISTIAN THOMAS STORY
Home is more than a house. Landscape is more than a backdrop. Life is more beautiful when the essence is felt.
Christian Thomas is an exterior and interior architect based in Jupiter Beach, Florida. Devoted to balancing the beauty of natural landscapes with rhythms of everyday life, he creates custom homes for modern dreamers. His works, individual by virtue, warm by design, are made to be lived in and loved for generations.
The son of a storied Palm Beach contractor and developer, Christian grew up on build sites, watching blueprints come to life from foundation to finishes. His childhood home, a modern minimalist masterwork of pine and glass nestled in the quiet Florida woodlands, imparted the feeling of high harmony he reaches for through every detail of his design process.
With two decades of experience building, architecting, and finishing, and with a team of expert craftsmen employing classical techniques in modern environs, his modern essentialist approach to material selection and interior orchestration is in service of enduring, liveable luxury experiences.
GUIDING DESIGN PRINCIPLES
In pursuit of Modern Essentialism.
ANCIENT CRAFT & MODERN FORMS
Create expressions of timeless beauty by marrying ancient craft techniques with modern forms. Grecian corbelling. Roman lime plaster. Wield the enduring traditions of the past in service of modern living experiences.
INTENTIONAL IMPERFECTION
Reject the soulless pursuit of perfection, crafting spaces that exude warmth through artful irregularities and asymmetrical moments. Let structures breathe, their flaws echoing the organic brilliance of the natural world. Imperfection deepens the sense of individuality and beauty. The patina of use adds richness and texture as designs age, and homes are lived in.
MATERIAL INTEGRITY
Stand against artifice, elevating the elemental soul of each material sourced and utilized–creating harmony between environment and home, and home and inhabitant. Present materials in a way that preserves their fundamental integrity and adds a sense of connection to the natural world.
RICH MINIMALISM
Eliminate the superfluous, seek simplicity not as a means of reduction, or repetition, but as a pathway to higher function. Create a stage for life, not objects, to fill. Express individuality and originality through unique interior orchestrations.
DAILY TRANSCENDENCE
Craft soulful sanctuaries, spaces that invite both serenity and spontaneity, that foster a sense of connection to the divine by synchronizing with the needs and desires of the elevated self.
CUSTOM HOME REALIZATION
Architecting liveable luxury experiences.
As no two places or people are the same, no two homes should be the same. We imagine the perfect home as a sanctuary for self-discovery, a personal haven honed for comfort and joy. We guide our clientele on journeys of artful discovery and architectural realization. By first understanding the essence of what you desire, how you live, and where you’re living, we are able to design custom modern homes that transcend pure form and function. Our work is devoted to creating the perfect balance between lifestyle and landscape.
