CHARLES "Chuck" LYNCH
Founder and Principal Architect
With over 30 years in the architecture industry, Charles “Chuck” Lynch is the visionary behind Charles R. Lynch Architects (CRLA). A Texas Tech graduate, Chuck began his career in Fort Smith, Arkansas, before returning to his hometown of Amarillo to start his own firm in 1996. Since then, CRLA has become synonymous with thoughtful, innovative design across adaptive reuse projects, master planning, and more. Chuck believes in creating spaces that not only fulfill his clients' visions but also inspire and uplift communities.
Beyond his work, Chuck finds immense joy in his family. A proud husband of nearly 40 years, father to three successful children, and a dedicated grandfather, he draws inspiration from his family’s joy and curiosity. This sense of wonder fuels his commitment to designing spaces that foster growth and imagination.
