Forest Park House by Javier Robles is a reimagined townhouse in Queens, New York
Forest Park House, set in a leafy part of Queens, New York, paints an idyllic picture of city living. The four-storey townhouse, designed by the architect Javier Robles, and purchased by the clients a decade ago, has undergone a complete top-to-bottom renovation with only the outside perimeter walls untouched.
‘In this project, the clients were very attuned to the surrounding Forest Park and its neighbourhood, a beautiful hidden green gem in New York City. So besides exploring a continuous open layout throughout the house, we wanted to bring natural light to every room in the house and create a sense of walking under the trees in the park, where light filters through the leaves.
‘There are many aspects that I love about this project, specifically the moments where architectural elements, lighting and décor blend harmoniously,’ says Robles, who also custom-designed much of the furniture and lighting through his New York-based brand, Lumifer.
