Estate-Scale Interiors for Toronto’s Most Prestigious Enclave
Forest Hill is synonymous with legacy and luxury. From stately mansions to contemporary custom builds, the neighbourhood reflects Toronto’s heritage of distinction and refined living. Here, interiors must balance tradition with innovation offering spaces that are timeless, layered, and deeply personal.
At Aspen & Ivy, we design for this exact balance. Our interiors in Forest Hill honour the architectural integrity of every home while reimagining them for modern lifestyles. The result is a home that feels equally suited for entertaining with elegance and unwinding in everyday comfort.
A 5,000 sq. ft. Entertainment Wing Designed for Year-Round Gathering
The Clubhouse project was conceived as a private destination within the home — an expansive entertainment space that could be used year-round, day or night. Designed to bring people together, it seamlessly blends luxury amenities with comfort and connection.
Key features included:
-
A fully outfitted bar and golf simulator
-
A 360-degree indoor fireplace anchoring the lounge
-
A 10’ wide TV screen with projector for cinematic experiences
-
Gym and indoor sauna for health and wellness
-
Games area with billiards table
-
Covered outdoor patio with built-in heaters and hurricane screens for four-season use
Every zone was intentional: a place for connection, continuity, and comfort. The Clubhouse embodies the kind of lifestyle Forest Hill families seek — refined, versatile, and ready to host every season of life.
Our Design Philosophy in Forest Hill & Beyond
Our philosophy is rooted in respect for context and a belief that interiors should elevate both home and lifestyle. In Forest Hill, that means:
-
Preserving grandeur while introducing warmth and modern comfort
-
Designing seamless flows between formal and casual spaces
-
Balancing tradition, texture, and contemporary refinement
-
Crafting custom solutions that reflect family heritage and personal needs
With over 20 years of experience in Toronto’s most iconic neighbourhoods, Aspen & Ivy ensures every project feels layered, timeless, and personal.
