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
Palm Island Residence - Case Study
The modern architecture of this Palm Island residence is complemented by the clean lined, NanaWall SL73 Aluminum Framed Thermally Broken Hurricane Approved Folding System which is used within four openings on the façade.
Tequesta Residence - Case Study
The indoor /outdoor environment was exactly what the client and architects envisioned for the living area and guest bedrooms and the top-hung, hurricane approved systems allowed for a continuous flooring material both inside and out.
“The NanaWall has completely transformed the space by bringing the outdoors in. Having a glass wall means I can watch eagles soar by or see fishermen catching salmon along the shoreline—experiences I wouldn’t have without these doors. When I build my next house, I’ll definitely use them again,”
— Brad Jefferson, Homeowner
