At his mid-century home in Maryland, John tackled a common challenge with uncommon style: how to hide trash cans without compromising curb appeal. His solution? A sleek enclosure built with Orb Breeze Blocks from Tesselle.

Perched on a hillside in Sherman Oaks, this modern residence features a breezy, design-forward enclosure for its patio using an assortment of Tesselle’s Small Format Breeze Blocks. A mix of grey and white blocks in several geometric patterns lines the top of a masonry wall, creating a sculptural edge around the outdoor space.

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.
