ERA from start to finish was attentive, design driven, and professional. Eric Rothfeder worked in sequence with our contractor to pull through a modern/contemporary home while suggesting design and architectural elements that exceeded our vision. The ceiling was dropped 3.5 inches, a Smart Lutron Lighting System was installed, and Pure Edge Lighting to take our home to the next level. Eric was professional and a pleasure to work with. Our growing family could not be happier and would strongly recommend ERA for your next project.

We used Eric for our 2 bed/2 bath condo renovation in Lakeview. He provided detailed renderings and finals drawings of the design, as well as sourced various quotes for the kitchen design. Eric was a pleasure to work with. His communication was clear and timely and he delivered all pieces of work when he stated he would. However, aside from Eric's professionalism, was the fact that he added value to our design ideas and didn't just draw what we outlined. On many occasions he made suggestions that took our (limited) design ideas to the next level and was on hand to provide suggestions as the construction work took place. We would not hesitate to use Eric again for any future projects.

We used ERA to gut and and remodel our new home. Eric was easy to work with, meticulous, timely and knowledgeable. Most importantly, he had great design ideas that were clever, functional and beautiful. We had a great experience working with him and highly recommend his services.

Services rendered: After weeks of working with our siding contractor I was still unsure about the design for the exterior of my home. I hired Eric as a consultant to make impactful design decisions. He provided useful insight on siding design and window size and placement. Price: Eric’s fees are very reasonable, especially considering his level of experience. Ultimately, the fee was well worth the outcome of a more sophisticated design and saved us > $10,000 on materials costs. Quality: Eric came to our house on short notice, respectful that a decision on the design needed to be made quickly before submitting an order for materials. He was very thoughtful and empathetic – which are key traits I look for in an architect. For the next 18+ years my family will live in this house, I know I’ll have a stronger sense of pride in my home. I look forward to working with Eric again, when we renovate the interior of our home. i will update this review with photos after installation.

We've had the pleasure of bringing a kitchen designed by Eric Rothfeder to life. The level of detail which Eric has placed into every aspect of the setup, regardless of how insignificant you might think it is, is second to none. Nothing is overlooked; from the overall aesthetics to the hue of the lighting - everything is purposeful and calculated. Eric is also extremely knowledgeable about the available materials; from stones, to acrylics, veneers and hardwoods, he finds a way to tastefully incorporate the right combination. Eric's attention to detail does not stop at the design - he takes the same approach with managing his communication and relationships with builders like us. It was a delight working with him throughout the build and installation. Hope to partner on many more projects in the future! Thank you!

Eric was wonderful to work with. He is thoughtful, highly knowledgeable, and has a sharp eye for contemporary design. He is attentive and respectful of budgets and timelines, and he was willing and able to work with me on all the smallest details. I would recommend Eric to anyone looking for an architect in Chicago.
