Breeze blocks balance the impact of sunlight and provide ventilation for outdoor patios and breezeways. Breeze blocks first made an appearance in American design and architecture in the 1930s. They rapidly gained popularity up until the 1970s.
Breeze blocks allow for ventilation but also provide some privacy and sun protection. Another bonus is they are structural so they can be used in place of framing for support.
The use of breeze blocks is making a huge comeback as an architectural element for its ornamental look and vintage vibe. It’s a popular addition in the hot climates.
We found some very creative modern uses for breeze blocks that could be incorporated into different styles of homes as a decorative element.
