ERA is a full-service architecture firm with a small studio practice. Founded by Eric Rothfeder in 2017, the studio engages in design-focused residential, commercial, and cultural projects. Design begins with curiosity—an open-ended inquiry that becomes most meaningful when shared between architect and client. ERA approaches each project as a conversation, guided by questions, problem-solving, and collaboration. Each project reflects the accumulated knowledge of those who live in, design, and construct the built environment. The studio’s work has been featured in Dwell, Wallpaper*, AN Interior, Aspire Design and Home, Chicago Magazine, and Design Chicago.
