David Hatton, AIA, NCARB Building Design Business Line Director dhatton@chacompanies.com (215) 380-2420 Founded more than 70 years ago, CHA provides architectural and structural design that is rooted in community ideals and responsive to the landscape and local aesthetic. Our people thrive on collaboration, working as part of project team, listening to our clients’ needs, and concentrating on modern design.

CHA Architecture is aligned with CHA Consulting, Inc., a multi-disciplined engineering consulting firm, with a shared aspiration to responsibly improve the world we live in. Together, the CHA team includes more than 1,350 technical professionals throughout the United States and Canada, providing a national platform to combine art and science to rethink, refine and reshape the built environment.

The tools may have changed over the past 70 years, the office has grown, and we have many new colleagues to collaborate with, but the ideas and creative energy persist and overflow. Our foundation remains clear — to create high-quality, collaborative designs that stress innovation grounded in careful listening to our clients’ functional needs.
