Meet Ipanema, Tesselle’s newest breeze block design. Measuring 11.4" x 7.5" x 3.5", this pattern forms a beautiful 16" repeat using two blocks when installed. Inspired by the famous promenades of Rio de Janeiro and Cascais, Portugal, Ipanema Premium Cement Breeze Blocks bring a modern sense of rhythm to any wall or screen.

Kathy’s outdoor shower blends beauty and function through Tesselle’s Sun Breeze Blocks designed by Trina Turk. The patterned concrete walls provide a sense of privacy while maintaining an open, airy feel — letting sunlight and fresh air filter through in perfect balance.

This beautifully restored mid-century modern home in Phoenix captures the timeless appeal of desert modernism. Designed by Aaron DelGuzzo of Likelihood and The Ranch Mine, the residence features Tesselle Patricia Breeze Blocks, which add rhythm and texture to the façade. At night, the soft landscape lighting transforms the blocks into a luminous architectural feature, casting a warm geometric glow that celebrates both craftsmanship and design heritage.

San Antonio’s hospitality meets pattern and color. For her new restaurant, Katherine chose Sevilla Blush cement tile; soft pinks, mineral greens, and sun-washed golds that echo historic Spanish Mission tones while feeling fresh and modern. Used as a decorative band along the façade, Sevilla Blush guides guests in and sets a celebratory mood before they even reach the door.
