The Baltimore-based planning, architecture and interior design firm noted that Turner’s portfolio of hospitality projects, including restaurants, spas, fitness centers and resorts was an “important draw” for Chambers. Turner is a certified Interior Designer at the National Council for Interior Design Qualification, and a graduate-level adjunct professor at the Corcoran College of Art and Design.
Chambers, a Baltimore-based planning, architecture and interior design firm, has named Charlie Turner, ASID, NCIDQ, as Director of Interior Design.
Turner joins Chambers after years at Washington, D.C.’s Hickok Cole Architects and ForrestPerkins. His portfolio of hospitality projects—including restaurants, spas, fitness centers, luxury hotels and resorts—as well as mixed-used and multi-family design, was an important draw for the venerable Chambers, which has been leading efforts in the private club industry to address changing tastes and lifestyles through smart planning and innovation.
“Charlie is an important addition to the Chambers team,” said Chambers Chairman and current head of its club interior design services, Robert Hickman. “We are very excited to be able to bring his perspective and level of creativity to the club industry, where the influence of trends in hospitality and even mixed-use design has become increasingly important as clubs are preparing for the next generations of members.”
Turner is a member of the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID), The Hospitality Industry Network (NEWH), and is a certified Interior Designer at the National Council for Interior Design Qualification (NCIDQ). He is also a graduate-level adjunct professor, presently teaching at the Corcoran College of Art and Design in Washington, D.C.
