The breeze block is a stereo developed with peer Benno Schmidt. Generated from an ideation session that mashed disparate concepts, the stereo began simply as a “brick + speaker” and progressed into a market ready product, operating by aux. or bluetooth.  The grille's motif was found in the streets of Montreal, Canada. The pattern is quintessential of mid century modern breeze blocks, possessing four way symmetry and simple geometric shapes. Throughout our final term of school the breeze block was launched to sell via commissions and affixed creative media material, press releases, and a website  were made.
