There’s a reason so many families and couples escape to the Blue Mountains. It’s not just the slopes or the views, it’s the feeling. The quiet stillness of fresh snow, the glow of a fire after a long ski day, the easy laughter of friends gathered for the weekend.
At Aspen & Ivy, we design spaces that capture that feeling, creating homes that are more than just beautiful; they’re alive with meaning, memory, and connection.
Whether you’re building a ski chalet, renovating a weekend retreat, or designing a year-round home, our team brings decades of luxury design experience and a deep understanding of how to make every space feel effortless, personal, and beautifully lived-in.
For one Toronto-based couple and their two children, the Ironbridge Chalet was a dream come true, a sanctuary away from city life, nestled in the heart of the Blue Mountains with a perfect view of Georgian Peaks Ski Club.
But it wasn’t just about style or finishes. They wanted a space that reflected their love for skiing and snowboarding, sure, but also one that welcomed long dinners, laughter-filled weekends with friends, and quiet mornings as a family.
We designed every inch of Ironbridge to match that vision: warm woods, layered textures, open gathering spaces, and thoughtful touches that felt both luxurious and deeply personal.
It’s this kind of project that reminds us why we love what we do, because great design isn’t just about how a home looks; it’s about how it feels to live there.
Where We Work
Our work spans the Blue Mountains and surrounding communities, including:
• Georgian Peaks
• Ravenna
We understand the rhythm of life here, the seasonal transitions, the weekend getaways, the mix of modern builds and historic homes and we design with that local context in mind.
