The Iconic Shape of the ALVA Breeze Block
ALVA stands apart with an organic, sculptural profile that reads modern yet timeless. The perforated geometry welcomes light and air, creating patterned shadows that animate façades throughout the day. Designers use ALVA for walls, screens, and entry moments where architectural expression and ventilation need to work as one.
Because ALVA is handcrafted in small batches, edges are crisp and alignment is predictable, making complex compositions achievable on site. For soft biophilic contrast, frame ALVA panels with greenery from our planters collection or anchor a walkway with a reflective fountain.
Durability Architects Can Rely On
ALVA is precast with a proprietary blend designed for outdoor performance and long service life. The finish resists typical weathering while maintaining its handcrafted character. In high–traffic hospitality or residential settings, ALVA offers the sturdiness specifiers expect, with minimal ongoing maintenance compared to many lightweight screens.
For evening ambience and four–season usability, combine ALVA with fire features to amplify its shadow play after dusk, or pair with concrete tables to create functional outdoor rooms.
Material Integrity & Sustainable Craft
ModaConcrete’s small–batch approach emphasizes consistent geometry and efficient use of materials. Each ALVA unit reflects careful mold design and controlled curing to balance weight, strength, and finish quality.

Visual Weight & Aesthetic Balance
ALVA’s profile delivers presence without heaviness. The openings lighten the silhouette, offering privacy and screening while keeping sightlines open. Use ALVA to define lounges, frame corridors, or soften massing at entries; complement with concrete sinks indoors for a continuous design language from exterior to interior.
How Architects Specify ALVA

- Lighting: Backlight or uplight to articulate curves and perforations after sunset.
- Integration: Coordinate module lines with doors, windows, and signage for a tailored façade rhythm.
- Finish selection: Validate color and sheen with the sample pack prior to large orders.
