Breeze Blocks Mid Century Modern Homes
Karin JeskeBrian, a passionate design enthusiast, has beautifully reimagined his iconic mid-century modern home in Palm Springs' Little Beverly Hills neighborhood. Originally built in 1957 by the Alexander Construction Company and designed by the influential architect William Krisel, the home was the area's original model house.

A standout feature is the use of Tesselle Divisia Breeze Blocks, creating eye-catching elements from a coordinating turquoise mailbox stand to a shaded front porch and a pathway to a luxurious pool area in the backyard, which offers stunning views of Mt. San Jacinto. Surrounded by a thoughtfully curated desert landscape, Brian's home effortlessly blends classic architecture with contemporary flair.
