A comprehensive set of modular terracotta breeze blocks for SketchUp, featuring diverse geometric patterns for screen walls. This collection includes over thirty distinct terracotta breeze block designs, ranging from simple square and circular voids to complex intersecting geometric patterns and diagonal slats. Each module is rendered with a consistent natural clay finish, showcasing the characteristic porous texture of fired terracotta. The blocks are provided as individual components, allowing for modular assembly into larger screen walls, partitions, or decorative facade elements. The variety includes both open-work designs for maximum permeability and denser configurations for privacy, providing architects with a versatile library of sun-shading and architectural screening solutions.
The download is a 1.8 MB compressed archive containing the native SketchUp (.skp) model holding 30 separate objects. It opens directly in SketchUp; for 3ds Max, Blender or Cinema 4D, import it through a SketchUp importer or convert it first.
In SketchUp, these blocks are best utilised as individual components within a larger assembly. Users should leverage the native component system to build custom screen walls by snapping the blocks together on a grid. Because these are provided as a set, one can easily swap individual blocks to create parametric-style patterns or gradients. Apply high-resolution bump or displacement maps to the surfaces to enhance the realism of the terracotta texture during rendering, ensuring correct UV mapping for the porous material finish.
