Community Land Trust Homes, Phase I

Lawrenceville Corporation and Rothschild Doyno Collaborative partnered with Monmade to source selected finishes and fixtures for the City of Bridges Community Land Trust homes. The goal was to distinguish this affordable, community-focused residential development through the addition of locally made products.

Featured Producers

Bones and All · Braddock Tile · Modesto Studios · Vessel Studio

For the homes’ exteriors, Bones and All created reclaimed wooden mailboxes. Modesto Studios designed and applied unique screen-printed patterns to the conventional cement cladding surrounding the front entryways. In the interiors, jewel-toned ceramic tile by Braddock Tile and custom-hued Boro Pendant lights from Vessel Studio added texture and color to the kitchens.
