Charles has designed over 50 cohousing communities in North America and has consulted on many more around the world. He is the principal architect at [The Cohousing Company,](https://www.cohousingco.com) author, and advocate of affordable, socially responsible and [sustainable design.](https://www.cohousingco.com/sustainability)

His work has been featured in ***Time Magazine, New York Time, LA Times, San Francisco Chronicle, The Boston Globe, The Washington Post, The Guardian, Architecture, Architectural Record, Wall Street Journal, The Economist,*** and a wide variety of other publications.

Charles is the co-author of ***[Creating Cohousing: Building Sustainable Communities](https://www.cohousingco.com/products?category=Books)*** — the bible of cohousing. Co-authored with Kathryn McCamant, it’s the book that introduced cohousing to the United States.

He has also written the ***[Senior Cohousing Handbook: A Community Approach to Independent Living](https://www.cohousingco.com/products?category=Books)*[,](https://www.cohousingco.com/products?category=Books)**[ ](https://www.cohousingco.com/products?category=Books)as well as a dozen other books about housing. The Oxford English Dictionary credits him, along with partner Kathryn McCamant, with coining the word cohousing.

Charles realized long ago that developing healthy environments requires starting with the culture—and seeing a much wider array of issues than just the sticks and bricks.

Charles continues to devote his time to new cohousing groups and affordable housing development start-ups.
