Mudhouse Specialty Coffee Roasters - Alexandria

With their new store in Alexandria, Virginia, Mudhouse tasked West Workshop with carrying over charming elements from their Charlottesville flagship while ensuring the design was distinctly inspired by Alexandria’s rich history.

By incorporating details reminiscent of Old Town sitting rooms and sleeping porches, the design achieves a modern ambiance with historic references. Touches include three Victorian-inspired wallpapers, complemented by a contemporary interpretation of a pre-Civil War-era hutch. A blend of oak paneling and painted bead board adds warmth, contrasted with stone floors, cream-colored tile walls, and marble countertops.

The three-story building, originally constructed in the early 1800s, has undergone numerous expansions and renovations. One design challenge was creating a solution to level the floors and ceilings and address structural issues that come with a 200-year-old building.

The shop’s long, narrow floor plan features five seating areas, each unique and welcoming, including an outdoor garden surrounded by jasmine and other plants, creating a charming atmosphere for Mudhouse’s customers.
