ORBIT Breeze Block

A circle held in a square — the most elemental move in screen-wall design, cut with modern precision. ORBIT reduces the breeze block to that single gesture: one true circular opening in a 7.5 × 7.5 × 4 in module, formed by ModaConcrete’s HyperCast process so the curve stays crisp, the faces stay dense, and the color runs through the body of the block.

Please note: Product renderings may not show exact color or finish. Because the color is natural, through-body pigment, real variation occurs from block to block and with light and surroundings. We recommend ordering a single block to review on your project before placing a full order.

The Pattern

Repeated across a wall, ORBIT builds a field of circles inside a quiet grid — openings that pull round pools of light across paving in the morning and stretch them long by late afternoon. Course it straight for calm order, or offset it to set the circles in motion. It’s also the easiest block in the set to commit to: for homeowners, the safe first choice that still looks considered; for specifiers, a forgiving module that hides small setting-out variations better than angular patterns do. If the project calls for a wall that recedes rather than charms, look at DRIFT instead.

Installation

Two honest paths to a built wall. Low garden screens and interior partitions can be set in mortar or masonry adhesive, exactly like our Gen 1 blocks. Walls that need engineering use classic reinforcement — vertical rebar and grout, the same method proven on KUBE, TERRA, and ALVA. ModaConcrete’s rib-and-rod system for Gen 2 screen walls is coming soon. Whichever route fits the project, heights, spans, and anchoring come from your engineer: freestanding, tall, wind-loaded, seismic, or load-bearing walls must be designed by a licensed structural engineer per applicable code and AHJ requirements.

Shipping & Samples

Full orders ship by LTL freight, delivered by pallet to a curbside location. Ordering a sample? A single block — or just a few — can ship by FedEx at a much lower cost than palletized freight, so you can review color and finish on your own project before committing to a full order.

Circular geometry. Filtered light. A softer screen wall rhythm.
