Kuhn Riddle Architects & Designers Welcomes Lindsay Comeaux Schnarr

NORTHAMPTON — Kuhn Riddle Architects & Designers announced that Lindsay Comeaux Schnarr, AIA has joined its growing architectural team. Her primary architectural interest is in public spaces, and she is pleased that her first project is working on CitySpace in Easthampton, renovating an existing historic building to include a theater space and other community-use areas.

“I am excited to join a firm that is woman-owned and is focused on equity, sustainability, and community outreach,” she said.

Schnarr interned as a student with Kuhn Riddle from 2009 to 2011 and continued after graduation through 2014. She described her return to the firm 15 years later as “bookending” her career to date. “It’s satisfying to see how far I’ve come in in those years and to rejoin a firm whose values are so aligned with mine.”

Schnarr received her bachelor’s degree in chemistry in 2002 from the University of California, Santa Cruz. She graduated in 2011 with her master’s degree in architecture from UMass Amherst.

She has been on the Amherst Design Review Board for many years, taught design as an adjunct lecturer at UMass Amherst from 2015 to 2020, co-founded the Emerging Professionals Development Program for the Western Massachusetts American Institute of Architects (WMAIA), and is a member of WMAIA’s Women in Architecture Committee.
