Bryan Keith Thomas (28 November 1928 – 19 December 2023) was an English architect in Essex, known for domestic architecture in that county such as the house at Beth Chatto Gardens in Elmstead Market.

[1] He spent his early years between India and Felixstowe, Suffolk, where he attended preparatory school.

[2] Thomas trained at the Architectural Association from 1945 to 1950 before working with David Stern and subsequently with the modernist architect Wells Coates and his partner Michael Lyell.

Due to the length of time that Thomas practised, he returned to a number of his houses to update or expand them such as one in Fingringhoe that he originally designed in 1964.

[2] He received a commendation in The Sunday Times British Homes Award in 2013,[5] before retiring at age 91 in 2019.
