There are 18 projects featured in ERA’s debut monograph, Elizabeth Roberts Architects: Collected Stories —among them chic city townhouses and brownstones, upstate ground up builds, and historic restorations, as well as commercial and cultural commissions, and ERA’s designs for wallpaper and furniture—reflect Roberts’s dedication to reframing the distinctions between history and modernity.

Interspersed throughout the projects are hand-drawn sketches; historical ephemera, and short fictional vignettes written by Christine Coulson, which add dimension, context, and surprise.
