Where timeless design meets Ontario’s most coveted retreats.
Tucked between the Niagara Escarpment and the crystal waters of Georgian Bay, Thornbury is one of the Blue Mountains’ most treasured enclaves — a destination where design, nature, and lifestyle seamlessly converge. Whether you’re escaping the city or building a generational retreat, the homes here deserve interiors that feel equally intentional and enduring.
At Aspen & Ivy, we craft interiors that reflect the elegance of their surroundings — thoughtfully layered, detail-rich spaces designed to celebrate how our clients truly live, gather, and unwind in Ontario’s most beautiful corners.
Modern comfort with lasting character.
Ridgehaven Chalet is the perfect example of cozy luxury, a home that balances warmth and function without ever skimping on style. The homeowners wanted a space that feels effortlessly relaxed, yet unmistakably refined, a place to unwind and entertain, all wrapped up in thoughtful, lasting design.
We layered natural wood, stone, and leather throughout the space to create warmth and texture. Custom details like the metal-wrapped range hood and fireplace surround add personality and a subtle edge, making the home feel both curated and inviting.
It’s a space that’s equally perfect for lively gatherings with family and friends or a quiet evening unwinding after a day on the slopes.
Our Design Philosophy in the Blue Mountains
We don’t just design homes. We design with a sense of place.
From Georgian Peaks to Clarksburg, our work across the Blue Mountains reflects the nuances of four-season living:
-
Panoramic lake and mountain views
-
Architectural heritage preservation
-
Indoor-outdoor transitions tailored to lifestyle
-
Elegant, functional design for both vacation and primary homes
Our studio brings deep familiarity with the region — and we believe the best design begins with deep listening, intentionality, and a true understanding of how our clients want to live.
