The Slate, as fittingly named by architect Alexander Blouin, sits in harmony with its natural surroundings on Île Bizard, one of Montreal’s three populated islands. The relatively new residence borders the shores of Lac des Deux Montagnes, or Lake of Two Mountains, with an unassuming single-story design that mirrors the landscape’s serene beauty. Natural materials and dynamic openings made possible with minimal sliding glass doors deliver a visually fluid, light-filled design that blurs the boundaries between indoor and outdoor spaces. Surrounded by lush greenery and the soft sounds of crashing waves from the lake, the home invites peaceful contemplation in tandem with memorable outdoor recreational experiences.

What Our Customers Have to Say
Omena Residence
An ambitious architect used passive design to build a LEED Gold residence in North Michigan. Learn how he did it and why a NanaWall system was central to the accomplishment.
Park City Residence
This Park City residence uses NanaWall systems to maximize mountain views and create a home that feels open to the surrounding landscape.
“Our ambition as architects for this home was not simply to frame the view but to become one with the landscape. The NanaWall system achieved this in one elegant and dramatic gesture.”
— Sandra Vlock, Principal, Arbonies King Vlock, Architect
