About ERAE.R.A. Architects Inc., based in Toronto, Canada, is a practice widely recognized for its thoughtful and expert advice on matters related to existing buildings. Values Architecture is not simply a science nor an art, but is the result of a collective effort to create a better built environment. Architecture should be durable and lasting – Firmitas – and based on a sound grounding, both in theory and in practice. Architecture should be commodious – Utilitas – creating an appropriate fit for intended short and long-term uses. And architecture should also be beautiful – Venustas – pleasing the mind and the eye, challenging the intellect, and prompting delight. ERA is dedicated to promoting these values in city building; preserving heritage architecture and improving the built environment for all.
