Britton Chambers AIA
Director
Driven by the conviction that a building is best measured by the experience of those who use it, Britton has applied his craft to a wide variety of architectural and interiors projects, ranging from large airports and tall office towers to boutique hotels and academic facilities.
Design for Impact
Each program asks for something different, and Britton adjusts his approach to suit it. For Changi Terminal 5, one of the largest buildings in the world, Britton served as Interior Design Lead tasked with humanizing the vast space so travelers experience both a sense of grandeur and a sequence of legible, comfortable environments. At 660 Fifth Avenue, the re-cladding of a mid-century office tower in Manhattan, he and the design team delivered an elegant façade that boosts the building’s environmental performance. At SQ1 West in West Palm Beach, Florida, Britton developed a design that provides covered pathways to shelter pedestrians, while upper-level terraces open the workplace to outside air.

Design for Context
Working across the United States, Europe, and Asia, Britton builds genuine connections with the local culture, creating buildings that respond to community needs and blend into the urban fabric. At 105 Victoria Street, in London, a shared sports hall and urban farm bring the building’s separate user groups together. Britton also collaborated on Tokyo Garden Terrace, where a repeating façade geometry ties the building to the city grid and distinguishes its programming. Working on Dajia Finance Tower, a complex project in Shenzhen, he helped stitch together two office towers, a retail podium, and a standalone retail village into a hyper-connected urban space with underground metro links and elevated pedestrian walkways.
