In the foothills of Claremont, California, Betsy has embraced the timeless appeal of midcentury modern architecture while creating a sustainable, eye-catching front yard. The standout feature? A bold Tesselle Clover Breeze Block Wall that defines the garden's edge while serving as a stylish privacy screen along the walkway.

Some installations just stay with you—and this one by Rolly Devore is a standout. In his backyard in Orange, California, Rolly created not one but two tiled planters, each wrapped in Tapa Green Cement Tiles by artist Shag (Josh Agle), available exclusively from Tesselle.

This stunning kitchen makes a bold statement with a backsplash that blends artistry and architectural influence. The featured tile—Durell Cement Tile by Trina Turk for Tesselle—brings color, texture, and a hand-drawn elegance to the heart of the home.

Breeze blocks have long been a bold architectural statement—offering privacy, airflow, and a play of light and shadow. But what happens when you add light from within? The result is nothing short of luminous. Above: Backlit Roundabout Breeze Blocks surround and Eichler home.

Homeowner Sapna has created a front yard that’s both striking and serene at her mid-century modern home, thanks to two smart installations of Tesselle’s Town Square Grey Breeze Blocks. Framed by vibrant desert landscaping and set against a backdrop of warm brick and bold architectural lines, the breeze block walls add privacy to the patio areas without closing them off from the surroundings.
