From the street, Starlite is hard to miss. The entire exterior is wrapped in Tesselle Terrace Breeze Blocks, giving the building texture, depth, and a sense of what is waiting inside. As part of a remodel led by Bells + Whistles Design, the breeze blocks became a natural fit for a space known for atmosphere and personality.

Tesselle is excited to be a sponsor of Soleil House by Trina Turk, an ambitious Palm Springs renovation that celebrates color, optimism, and midcentury modern design.  As part of the renovation, Trina Turk designed three architectural screen walls using her Sun Breeze Blocks for Tesselle.

The installation of Tesselle Ipanema Cement Tile in Stacy’s kitchen is a brilliant study in high-contrast design. By pairing transitional cabinetry in a soft, smoky blue with a floor that features a rhythmic, mid-century inspired motif, the space achieves a sophisticated balance. The organic curves of the tile soften the clean, traditional lines of the kitchen, proving that bold patterns can feel perfectly at home in a timeless, functional setting.

This thoughtfully designed bathroom proves that restraint and material choice can do the heavy lifting. The Sonora Sola Cement Tile floor grounds the space with a quiet pattern that feels timeless, tactile, and inviting without overwhelming the room.
