Community Land Trust Homes, Phase II – Monmade

Continuing in the spirit of the first phase of Community Land Trust homes, City of Bridges together with Lawrenceville Corporation worked with Monmade to source cost-effective artisan finishes and fixtures for the second phase of this affordable, community-focused development. Specialty products including mailboxes, tile, and lighting provided a sense of warmth and texture to these modernized early twentieth-century homes.

Featured Producers

Bones and All · Modesto Studios · Studio Glass Co. · Temper and Grit · Vessel Studio

Bones and All wood-clad mailboxes and Modesto Studios house numbers bring character to the homes’ exteriors. Inside, Modesto Studio applied distinctive screen-printed patterns to the conventional kitchen backsplash tile. Temper and Grit wood and steel floating shelves add eye-catching storage above the backsplash. The dining rooms, bathrooms, and bedrooms featured a combination of Vessel Studio Boro Pendant lights and fused glass ceiling light shades from Studio Glass Company.
