Charles Bain Smith  

Charles is a conservation architect whose commitment to heritage began in early childhood, shaped by witnessing the loss of historic buildings and developing a lifelong sensitivity to the spirit of place.

His work is grounded in craftsmanship, material understanding, and hands-on experience on site, earning trust through practical skill as much as professional leadership. Formerly a national specialist building consultant for The National Trust, Charles brings a strategic, humane approach to conservation, protecting not only fabric, but the character and meaning that make historic places endure.
