A collection of works from my professional career and architectural practice at NJIT. I’m a driven individual with a particular interest in the visual arts. A soft music nerd who takes his guitar everywhere; Yet at the same time a daredevil whos always seeking the next rush of adrenaline, whether its jumping off planes or any extreme sport that can give one a concussion ..being bold and spontaneous can be a double edged sword I guess. But lets step back and dive a little into my story. As a young boy I always had a spark for creative thinking. From spending hours judging poor HGTV projects, to eating questionable amounts of cereal just so I could collect the boxes and reuse the to remake my very own house models ..except better of course. As an undergraduate student I underwent challenges that shifted my thinking into becoming a problem solver, paved the roads into making me a better listener, talk more eloquently, and have patience. Architecture school taught me I shouldn’t fear the unknown, but instead actively dive outside the boundaries in search of greater design opportunities. As a designer I’ve learnt the value of the process, and how an idea can sprout into carefully crafted spaces that can tell a story just by walking by. I’ve grown to be very passionate about what I do and I truly believe my work is able to reflect that. Thanks so much for your time. -Paul https://www.paulcabrera.net/contact daily 0.75 2021-07-24 https://www.paulcabrera.net/renderings daily 0.75 2021-07-24 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5fbd6eef250cdc3fee69717a/60fc49e4b7e08e14f20e644c/60fc49e4b7e08e14f20e6453/1589917773800/20140301_Trade-151_0124-copy.jpg Renderings https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5fbd6eef250cdc3fee69717a/60fc49e4b7e08e14f20e644c/60fc49e4b7e08e14f20e6451/1589917773797/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg Renderings https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5fbd6eef250cdc3fee69717a/60fc49e4b7e08e14f20e644c/60fc49e4b7e08e14f20e644f/1589917773794/Aro+Ha_0428_portrait_.jpg Renderings https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5fbd6eef250cdc3fee69717a/60fc49e4b7e08e14f20e644c/60fc49e4b7e08e14f20e644d/1589917773788/Aro+Ha_0010.jpg Renderings https://www.paulcabrera.net/cds daily 0.75 2021-07-24 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5fbd6eef250cdc3fee69717a/60fc4a338e88c17552e18aaf/60fdd5c864fa7144c2127db2/1627248072426/Asset+3%404x.png CDs https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5fbd6eef250cdc3fee69717a/60fc4a338e88c17552e18aaf/60fdd5d88e88c17552f30b06/1627248088606/Asset+4%404x.png CDs https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5fbd6eef250cdc3fee69717a/60fc4a338e88c17552e18aaf/60fdd5ea36f77b35a9131079/1627248106410/Asset+5%404x.png CDs https://www.paulcabrera.net/photographs daily 0.75 2021-07-24 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5fbd6eef250cdc3fee69717a/60fc4aae6153830f9e83566c/60fc4aae6153830f9e835673/1589917773800/20140301_Trade-151_0124-copy.jpg Photographs https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5fbd6eef250cdc3fee69717a/60fc4aae6153830f9e83566c/60fc4aae6153830f9e835671/1589917773797/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg Photographs https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5fbd6eef250cdc3fee69717a/60fc4aae6153830f9e83566c/60fc4aae6153830f9e83566f/1589917773794/Aro+Ha_0428_portrait_.jpg Photographs https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5fbd6eef250cdc3fee69717a/60fc4aae6153830f9e83566c/60fc4aae6153830f9e83566d/1589917773788/Aro+Ha_0010.jpg Photographs https://www.paulcabrera.net/portfolio daily 0.75 2021-07-25 https://www.paulcabrera.net/portfolio/cohen monthly 0.5 2021-07-26 https://www.paulcabrera.net/portfolio/gleason monthly 0.5 2021-08-04 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5fbd6eef250cdc3fee69717a/t/61093a1e37e8220d85de0ded/1627994863028/Bedroom.png Portfolio Work - Gleason Residence - Dormers This project was specially challenging as the residence never had a second floor to begin with, the bottom floor had to be redesigned to accommodate the constrains a second story brings.

From its design phase up to laying physical bricks; its a challenge I’ve decided to overtake on my own to explore the knowledge architecture school has taught me. It sounds radical but I plan to build this completely on my own with zero help from the outside world. I took inspiration from the hideout, with the difference being the introduction of modern building materials that are available to anybody, such as engineered I joist, lumber, reinforced concrete and CMU blocks. I have 2 years of building experience working in carpentry, 6 years of architecture school, and the internet to back me up. The project is scheduled to begin construction in early 2022 and will be located in a suburban area of PA. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5fbd6eef250cdc3fee69717a/t/60ff69022296457445c4a3d2/1627351306479/Enscape_2021-07-25-18-41-24.png Portfolio Work - 205 Northgate https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5fbd6eef250cdc3fee69717a/t/60ff68f0266ee34b7ed064f3/1627351292438/Enscape_2021-07-25-18-35-29.png Portfolio Work - 205 Northgate https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5fbd6eef250cdc3fee69717a/t/610c5097c1f83b64dfdbf83b/1628197960395/Enscape_2021-08-05-15-04-09.png Portfolio Work - 205 Northgate
