This Georgetown, Texas backyard feels more like a private resort than a residential landscape. Anchoring the space is a sculptural breeze block wall built with Tesselle Crater Breeze Blocks, creating a striking backdrop for a poolside outdoor living area designed for evening gatherings and relaxed luxury.
The repeating circular pattern of the Crater block introduces rhythm and texture while maintaining openness. By day, the wall filters light and frames views of the surrounding landscape. By night, warm architectural lighting animates the surface, turning the wall into a glowing design feature that plays beautifully against firelight and water reflections.
Positioned behind a luxe outdoor sofa and linear fire pit, the breeze block wall provides privacy without heaviness. The perforated design allows airflow and subtle visual connection to the garden beyond, an ideal balance for a poolside environment in Central Texas. The neutral tone of the blocks complements the clean-lined outdoor furniture and the soft palette of the hardscape, letting shadow and light do the talking.
Designed by Urban Landforms Landscape Architecture Design Studio, this installation shows how breeze blocks can function as both architecture and atmosphere. The result is a timeless outdoor room where modern materials, thoughtful detailing, and evening light come together effortlessly.
