Aspect 221 is a multi-experiential home designed for a multi-generational family. Set on a sloping corner property in a 1960's Golden Valley neighborhood, this home offers a variety of ways to connect to the immediate landscapes and distant views. The house itself is divided vertically with interaction between families occurring through the centrally located sculptural stair. Horizontal movement in each direction leads to distinct environments provided for the families; multiple habitats offering variety of space, light, and privacy.
Expanding towards the west, the property takes advantage of the sweeping views and provides a perfect opportunity for a walk-out lower level and tuck under garage. The young family occupies the middle and upper floors, while the parents occupy the lower level. Each family has their own private entry and dedicated outdoor space. The home has 4 distinct outdoor spaces; a north shade deck and south sun deck, as well as an upper east lawn and lower west lawn. These spaces provide multiple habitats for the families to come together or move apart, offering variety and privacy.
We designed Aspect 221 with a nod to the various “aspects” offered by the site and its natural context. The base of the house is a black monolithic plinth anchored into the hillside, containing the garage and older parent’s home. This allows the upper two floors, enclosed in a fractured white and wood box, to remain humanly scaled and to move and gesture freely by twisting the middle floor off axis, and then twisting the upper floor off axis again. Each level offers views in varied directions revealing the site in different ways as you rise in elevation.

Lake living at its finest. This custom built home situated on Hyco lake has a very open floor plan. The overall footprint of the house is not enormous but the space is very well designed to accentuate the views and nature. This living room face is the lake and is centered around a large stone fireplace open to the kitchen.
This view is from the loft… Looking down on the first floor.
Design items of note
- over dyed vintage area rug
- custom made triple ottoman coffe table fabricated with a hide top
- oversized sectional in performance fabric
- custom printed paint swiped fabric for drapery panels
- concrete “sharing” hands end table
- leather chair
Probably one of the most distinctive design features of the space are the two oversized cross chandeliers fabricated from iron. These distinctive light fixtures set off the industrial vibe and add a fun sculptural aspect to the space

One of the key attributes of Muskoka are the numerous boathouses nestled on the shorelines of all the major lakes. In addition to docking a boat, many of these boathouses feature beautiful sitting rooms, bathrooms, exercise rooms and grand bedrooms. Boathouses can be fixed to the shore, floating or on piles nestled in the Lake. They are very distinctive aspect of Ontario's cottage country and sometimes when you are boating past you can get a peak some of the prized Muskoka antique wood boat nestled inside.

This unique free standing home was a collaboration between Haycon and the owner architect. Located on what was once a vacant lot, this new construction home represents what can be achieved when designers and builders come together on a design. Unique materials such as a ceramic rain screen and inventive applications of traditional siding give this house its one of a kind look. The highlighted interior structural framing, exposed ceilings, and signature staircase detail offset other distinctive features in this home. Haycon oversaw all aspects of this new construction, from the excavation to installing the interior finishes.
