WASHINGTON, D.C., June 4, 2018 – CIP Finishes is furnishing and installing interior hardware for Trellis House, a distinctive mixed-use housing community underway as part of the redevelopment of U Street corridor in Washington, D.C. Hardware selections in the property’s 319 apartments, townhouse-style units and common areas reflect the design tastes and lifestyles of the young professionals who will live there.
“The interior hardware finishes at Trellis House are important for their functional use and the overall design of the community,” says CIP Finishes Founder and President Paul Milde. “We are also focused on helping the builder complete the project within an aggressive time frame.”
Trellis House is located at 2323 Sherman Ave., at the corner of Sherman and Barry Place in the North Shaw neighborhood near Howard University. The builder is CBG Building Company and the architect and interior designer is Niles Bolton Associates. Barry Place Partners is the developer.
Interior Hardware Reflects Sustainable-Living Focus
The complex blends high-end finishes and amenities with sustainable-living features that have earned the community a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Platinum Certified Design, notes the Trellis House website trellishousedc.com.

Milde says interior hardware finishes complementing Trellis House’s urban design and sustainable-living focus include:
- Spa-quality shower doors and bathroom fixtures in the living units and mirrors in the community’s fitness center.
- Adjustable storage shelves at the entryway of units to maximize tight spaces with minimalist design.
- Bike racks, an increasingly important feature for supporting sustainable living in urban communities.
- High-end bath accessories and toilet partitions in the community’s clubroom.

In all, CIP is responsible for providing and installing 40 types of hardware totaling more than 7,000 pieces that were selected for the project, ranging from unit door hardware to fire extinguishers and cabinets.
Trellis House will offer residents a long list of amenities, including an elevated interior courtyard with a pool and grill area; a large clubhouse with a fitness studio, yoga room, clubroom and business center; a pet “spa” for bathing companion animals; a test kitchen for cooking events and demos; a private dining room; and a sky terrace with a hydroponic growing room and views of the Washington skyline.
