Now you can live in the home of Robin Standefer and Stephen Alesch, a.k.a. Roman and Williams

And we're assuming without them around under foot. So, here, on the fourth floor of 25 E. Fourth St. off the Bowery is the home of Robin Standefer and Stephen Alesch, a.k.a. Roman and Williams, the design team behind the Standard Hotel (including the Standard Grill and the 18th Floor Club), the Ace Hotel and the redesign of the Royalton Hotel lobby.

And, as the Stribling listing shows, this is a big deal!

Here is a rare opportunity to live in a treasure of contemporary design history. This full-floor loft is the home of Robin Standefer and Stephen Alesch, a.k.a. Roman and Williams, one of the most significant and era-defining design teams of the 21st Century. The space has four glorious exposures, sun-flooded light from 14 windows and open south and east views. It features a windowed cook's kitchen with six-burner range, a tranquil living room, a studio, and a walk-in closet. Most of all, it includes all of the Roman and Williams furnishings, collectibles and custom design elements that have made this loft famous. More than a residence, it is a magic environment. Located in wicked hot NoHo, between Lafayette Street and the Bowery, 25 East 4th Street is proximate to great restaurants, clubs and shopping. This property is one of one.

So how do hip designers, uh, design their own home?








And it can be your home for $3.5 million.

    Oh sure, $3.5 m. But what's the maintenance fee?

    Nice kitchen, looks like cabinets from IKEA. Maybe it's supposed to be post-ironic IKEA kitsch. I wonder if it falls apart in a few years (purely as a design statement of course).

    Looks like a really nice space. I don't know about 'wicked hot' but it's a nice location, too.

    Seriously reconsidering my own design decisions.

    Those slick, shiny black floors? Brave, very brave.

    Love. It.

    @Jeremiah, there are no photos of the hallway, perhaps they are littered with roaches and blood to give it the romance of the East Village.
