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.

The floors of the home are covered in Motticino, an Italian marble stone, terracotta, and Briare enamel, while the walls and ceiling are finished in Oak veneer.
