Chambers Acquires C2 Limited Design Associates
BALTIMORE, MARYLAND | February 5, 2026
Chambers, a 126-year-old leader in planning, architecture, interior design, and procurement for private clubs, proudly announces the acquisition of C2 Limited Design Associates, an award-winning planning and interior design firm based in Connecticut. With this strategic partnership, C2 Limited will become a Studio of Chambers while maintaining its existing name, brand, team, and client relationships.
The acquisition strengthens Chambers’ growing national footprint while honoring C2 Limited’s legacy of excellence. The firm will continue operating under its own identity, empowered by the expanded resources, expertise, and support of Chambers.
“We have long admired C2 Limited’s immense creativity, talent, and deep client relationships,” said Rick Snellinger, CEO and Managing Partner of Chambers. “Their design excellence speaks for itself and bringing them into the Chambers family allows us to strengthen the planning, interior design, and procurement services for private clubs nationwide. Most importantly, we want C2 Limited to continue thriving as its own brand—now with the additional strength and backing of Chambers.”
As part of the acquisition, all C2 Limited staff members will remain in place, and current C2 Limited leadership will continue guiding the firm’s design vision. The partnership marks an aligned commitment to advancing planning and design standards within the private club industry.
“This is a natural evolution of Chambers’ mission to deliver top-tier design and planning expertise,” said John R. Snellinger, President of Chambers. “C2’s design philosophy complements ours beautifully. We are thrilled to support their continued growth, protect the identity they’ve built, and provide new opportunities for collaboration across both teams.”
The co-founders of C2 Limited are enthusiastic about this new chapter in their history. “We built C2 Limited Design Associates with a passion for delivering thoughtful, award-winning design solutions to our clients,” said Craig J. Smith, Founding Partner and Co-Creative Director of C2 Limited. “We are excited to join Chambers in a way that allows us to remain who we are while bolstering our planning and design resources. Our clients will continue working with the same trusted team they know and will further benefit from enhanced project support and broader geographical reach. It’s the best of both worlds.”
“This partnership allows us to elevate our capabilities while keeping the heart of our brand intact,” added Christina H. Romann, Founding Partner and Co-Creative Director of C2 Limited. “We’re proud to become a Studio of Chambers, and we look forward to the innovation and collaboration this will bring.”
Together, the combined strengths of both firms will enable more comprehensive, innovative, and future-focused solutions for private clubs nationwide. With shared values and a unified commitment to design excellence, the two firms will work together to support private clubs across the country through comprehensive planning, architecture, interior design, and procurement.
