Hamilton-Baillie trained as an architect in Cambridge, and worked in London, Hamburg and Turkey[3] before moving to Bristol where he spent 13 years in housing renewal and development. In 1995, he became regional manager for Sustrans, a sustainable transport charity in England.

In 2001, he was a Harvard University Loeb Fellow.[4] He served on the expert team for the European Union project developing “shared space” with projects in Belgium, Denmark, Germany and the Netherlands. He is the author of "Traffic in Villages – A Toolkit for Communities" published by Dorset AONB in 2012. He was lead designer for the regeneration of the Cheshire town of Poynton,[citation needed] involving the redesign of Fountain Place and the removal of the former traffic signals.
