I am all kinds of obsessed with breeze blocks right now. Hollow cement blocks have been commonly used as essential building materials for the load-bearing walls of structures since the 1930s. It wasn’t until the 50s and 60s that they became more decorative and used most often as ornamental screens. They define mid century modern design. I just love that they’ve been making a comeback and can only wish I can incorporate them in my home somehow.

Love these images you’ve gathered! One of our local textile designers, Skinny la Minx, has just launched a new range inspired by breeze blocks! Take a look… http://www.houseandleisure.co.za/decor/architectural-textiles/
Oh, how lovely! <3
The geometry of these breeze blocks ties in the design of the space so nicely =o)

The light they cast always looks so incredible and remind myself of Eastern Oriental countries. It’s amazing that you can achieve that with those blocks!

What a nice way to add some pattern to a space. I love how it looks with the light streaming through.

I’ve never really appreciate this look but I think I’ve changed my mind…
I adore breeze blocks too! Have you seen this house? https://lunchboxarchitect.com/featured/naranga-avenue-house-james-russell-architect/ Not breeze blocks, as such, but the same vibe done on a massive scale!
