White oak slats and cork cladding give texture to the facade of a house that architect Jack Becker designed for himself and his wife, landscape architect Maddie Hoagland-Hanson, in an alley in the Capitol Hill area of Washington, D.C. High awning windows let daylight in while preserving privacy.

Ally Walsh and Casey Wojtalewicz started Canyon Coffee in Beachwood Canyon in 2016.

The shop’s record collection spans jazz, soul, Afrobeat and bossa nova. “We felt committing to vinyl records would go a long way in establishing a warm and consistent sound in the space,” Ally says. “Going back to albums would be a nice break from the ubiquity of algorithm-based streaming platforms.”

The work above the espresso machine is by artist Cheryl Humphrys, and the owners plan to feature new pieces by different local artists each season.

Canyon’s first coffee shop is inspired by Georgia O’Keeffe’s New Mexico home, the work of Donald Judd, and the Sea Ranch community in Northern California.
