Design Inspiration Blog — Breeze Blocks

Tesselle’s Premium Cement Breeze Blocks are available in a growing range of colors, from warm saffron, sand and terracotta to rich greens, blues, brick tones, espresso and dramatic charcoal. The same architectural element that provides airflow, filtered light and added seclusion can also introduce color into a space in a substantial, permanent way.

Leticia used Tesselle’s Terrace Breeze Blocks to transform an otherwise utilitarian area of her side yard into a more defined architectural space.

In Palm Desert, outdoor spaces often have to do more than one job. They need to feel beautiful, intentional, and comfortable while also accommodating the practical necessities that come with a home.

Rotary Breeze Blocks by Tesselle are used across the front of the house, adding pattern and architectural interest while preserving the openness that makes breeze block so well suited to Southern California.

Some outdoor spaces impress you immediately. Others make you want to stay.  In Andrea’s Rancho Palos Verdes backyard, the appeal is quieter. Surrounded by lush planting, soft filtered light and comfortable places to settle in, this intimate patio feels removed from the world beyond it. At the center of the space are Sun Breeze Blocks by Trina Turk for Tesselle, bringing pattern, warmth and architectural structure to a garden designed for slowing down.

At the Willow Home in Phoenix, breeze blocks are not treated as a single decorative feature. They become part of the architecture. Throughout the home, Ellipse and Lozenge Breeze Blocks designed by Shag for Tesselle are arranged in rotated checkerboard layouts that create a strong graphic rhythm while maintaining the openness that makes breeze blocks so appealing.
