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
Saratoga Beach House
The design of this waterfront British Columbia residence was influenced by living at the ocean, surrounded by the beauty of the natural landscape. Sliding glass doors were ideal to achieve this indoor-outdoor connection while protecting interiors.
Mulberry Point House
The architect’s ambition 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.
“NanaWall allowed us to create uninterrupted views to the Chesapeake Bay and open the west wall of the Loblolly House, effectively transforming the interior of the house into a porch.”
— Marilia Rodrigues, KieranTimberlake, Architect
