Roman and Williams

Roman and Williams Buildings and Interiors is a New York-based design studio known for their work on hotels, restaurants, retail spaces, homes, product design and, most recently, cultural work. Founded in 2002 by principals Robin Standefer and Stephen Alesch, the work of Roman and Williams employs a range of ideas, materials, objects and references – from the unexpected to the pedigreed – and instilled with a heightened sense of narrative. The body of work that is an extension of their values, a continuum of longevity meant to live beyond them – like the name of the studio of itself, named for their maternal grandfathers.
