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
Mesnick Residence
This Kirkland residence uses a 15-foot NanaWall opening to expand the main living area into a bright indoor-outdoor living space.
Poconos Residence
Multiple units of NanaWall SL60 were selected for the project because of its minimal sightlines and its ability to thrive in a tough Northeast climate. Folding door connect the mountain terrain with the inside of the home, even when the doors are closed.
When we open the NanaWall, it totally transforms our space by bringing the outdoors into our home. The smell of the outdoor air permeates the house and the view opens up, literally bringing the Inlet inside our house! The transition between indoor and outdoor space is seamless, resulting in a connection we have never before experienced with our surroundings. Family and friends find this to be an exceptional entertaining experience!
