Denis Arthur Birchett [also known as D.A. Birchett and as Denis A. Birchett] was born in Hackney, London, England on 4 July 1919. Nothing is known about his training as an architect. He was employed as an architectural assistant in the late 1930s. In 1951 Shell-Mex and BP set up an architectural section which was headed by Birchett.
Birchett, assisted by architect P.J. Webb, and in collaboration with Wallis Gilbert & Partners, designed a modular service station for the Oxford Road in Reading, England, which was the forerunner of similar petrol stations in Britain. By 1955 Birchett had been elected an Associate of the Royal Institute of British Architects (ARIBA). He died in Chorley, Lancashire on 2 July 1991.
