Charles Peter Womersley ARSA FRIBA (24 June 1923 – August 1993) was an English architect, best known for his work in the modernist style. He lived in the Scottish Borders, where a number of his buildings are located, although he worked on projects throughout the United Kingdom. Influenced principally by the work of Frank Lloyd Wright and the American Case Study Houses, Womersley's buildings employ such typical modernist elements as in-situ concrete and strong geometric forms; although he introduced a wider palette of materials than was typically used by Le Corbusier and his followers.
