Chris Dwyer
Principal | Architect, AIA, NCARB
Chris Dwyer was born and raised in Boise, Idaho. His childhood home was built in 1909 and almost always was undergoing an extensive restoration, modification, or upgrade. The constant change of the space, in which he lived and played with Legos, led to his interest in architecture, which ultimately inspired him to study at the Fay Jones School of Architecture and Design at the University of Arkansas.
After graduating in 2007, Chris moved to Aspen, CO. He joined Poss as an Architectural Draftsperson and was employed there for over eight years. Before moving back to his hometown, Chris decided to take a break and feed his travel bug by exploring Southeast Asia.
Upon his return to Boise, he took a position with a large multistate architecture and engineering firm that specialized in multifamily, commercial, retail, and master planning projects. It is there where he also became involved in the Urban Land Institute (ULI).
In 2022 Chris returned to Poss as a Senior Associate and to open and manage the new Boise office of Poss. He looks forward to helping expand the Poss footprint into the Northwest and to develop new project locations for the firm.
Chris is a board member of the Idaho Chapter of ULI. He is also a founder of the Placemaking and Design Product Council within the Idaho Chapter, and member of Idaho Chapters of AIA, NCARB, and the International Code Council.
When not at work, Chris enjoys spending time with his family, whether in Boise, or at the family cabin in McCall. Chris also loves travelling as well as skiing, curling, bike riding, and playing hockey.
