About Us

Paul Cavin Architect LLC (PCA) is a premier architecture firm in Northern Nevada, specializing in public sector architecture and collaborative design processes for various facilities. Established in 2013 as a sole proprietorship, PCA has evolved into a versatile team of eight, including three licensed architects and dedicated project management leadership. Over the past decade, we have successfully delivered more than 400 permitted public works projects. Our diverse portfolio encompasses K-12 and higher education institutions, secure government and justice facilities, medical offices, commercial spaces, and historic preservation. Trusted by numerous state, county, and municipal entities across the region, PCA combines extensive local expertise with direct principal involvement to provide exceptional, hands-on service for every client and project.

Our Mission

Architecture is not a singular endeavor; it is a collaboration between design professionals, the client, users, and the construction trades. PCA embraces a collaborative design process and strives to provide inclusive leadership through our architectural services in Northern Nevada during the design, production, and construction phases.


PCA combines this collaborative approach with leadership that establishes clear goals, a structured process, and effective communication. We find this framework particularly beneficial in high-stakes, time-sensitive projects within the realm of public sector architecture, where accuracy and timeliness are critical.
