Large Breeze Block 11 3/8"
Villa Lagoon Tile's new Breeze Blocks are adding to the revival of mid-century modern architecture, with a more refined version of the pattern blocks of the original era.

These three volumes house the kitchen and laundry room in the first, the bedrooms in the second and the master bedroom’ bathroom in the third.
The arrangement of these volumes on the site conforms the main space of the house, the void of the living and dining rooms. This space allows full fluidity uphill without sectioning the site between front and back. A concrete grandstand estab... More
