Some entryways stop you at the door. This one invites you in.
At this San Diego home, a screen wall of Shag Ellipse and Lozenge Breeze Blocks, exclusively from Tesselle, turns a simple porch into an experience. The pattern feels playful and architectural at the same time, with amorphous cutouts that frame warm interior light after sunset. During the day, the wall filters sun and shadows, adding privacy without shutting the space down.
What makes this installation work so well is the balance:
-
Privacy + airflow: breeze blocks create separation while still letting the house breathe.
-
Shadow play: the Ellipse and Lozenge openings cast changing shapes across the entry as the light shifts.
-
A design-forward first impression: the screen wall becomes the feature, not an afterthought.
These two designs are part of the Shag Breeze Block collection and are exclusively available from Tesselle. Each block can stand alone, but together they create a modular pattern with lots of layout possibilities, from tight grids to more expressive mixes like this one.
If you are designing an entry sequence, a courtyard wall, or a screen between indoor and outdoor living, Ellipse and Lozenge are a smart way to add structure, texture, and personality in one move.
