Casacquasanta Home Tours

Casacquasanta is a concept-to-completion transformation led by MRC × EMD, where thoughtful planning, custom details, and client-loved pieces come together. Follow this two-year journey from blank slate to move-in-ready haven, featuring space planning, finishes, furnishings, and a home exterior renovation that reflects the homeowners’ style while showcasing our team’s collaborative process and meticulous craftsmanship.

Tour a light, airy dining room renovation where floor-to-ceiling windows, sheer linen drapery, and architecturally correct shutters set a relaxed tone and warmth. Subtle ceiling steps with pin lights, layered sconces, and family-friendly furnishings, including slipcovered surf-inspired head chairs and durable leather seats, balance casual everyday meals with polished dinner parties and celebrations.

Step inside an entertaining powder room designed to impress guests: a dark, moody jewel box with black-and-white star marble floors, a stately reeded vanity with rounded corners, and a soapstone counter paired with an unlacquered brass faucet. Putty-toned ceiling and trim, a protective soapstone backsplash, and grasscloth walls complete the timeless, whimsical vibe aesthetic.

Tour as we convert the fourth bedroom into her office, an elevated space above the pub that allows soaring 14-foot ceilings. See on-site built-ins with custom doors and drawers, soft-close hardware, attic access for storage, and a paint finish that lets this quiet workspace shine, while natural light and lines keep it calm and focused.

Natural light pours through the upstairs stairwell of the Casacquasanta home, creating a stunning tower of glass from the basement to the second floor. Floor-to-ceiling windows amplify openness while Moroccan Zenza pendants scatter intricate patterns at night. The stairwell becomes both a passageway and an illuminated design feature, showcasing refined craftsmanship and timeless architectural beauty.

This luxury new construction blends coastal calm with European refinement in a kitchen renovation featuring floor-to-ceiling windows framing the courtyard, a sculptural island with metal support, Calacatta marble counters and backsplash, custom paneled cabinetry, and open shelves with integrated lighting. Craftsmanship meets function through a dedicated scullery, a butler’s pantry, bamboo drawer interiors, and a professional cooktop.

This basement – kidzone transforms a bright walk-out space into the perfect hangout for kids and families. Comfortable seating, natural light, and a spa-inspired bath nearby make it both fun and functional, creating a welcoming retreat where play, relaxation, creativity, and family connection come naturally in a beautifully designed, multi-purpose environment.

Casacquasanta’s stair tower reveals a sculptural floating landing supported by wall-to-wall metal struts, closed stringers, and a doweled metal rod system that keeps lines clean. This staircase renovation channels modern energy, floods the home with natural light, and smartly connects the mudroom, powder room, and a lateral hallway for seamless daily flow.

Step into Casacquasanta’s mudroom area, where a durable, sparkling mosaic floor and special grout additive meet navy cabinetry, wood bench, and leather pulls with hidden storage behind closed doors. Arched entries lead to a powder room featuring a floating vanity with underlighting, soapstone countertop, clay tile, and brass and copper pendants for timeless modern warmth.

Tour the family room renovation, a warm indoor-outdoor space open to the kitchen yet private from formal areas, with floor-to-ceiling windows flanking a glass-free wood-and-gas fireplace. A low-profile shiplap ceiling in soft greige complements white walls and cabinetry, adding authenticity and calm that make new construction feel timeless. Symmetry guides the view into a courtyard.

Moody and formal, his office sits off the entry as a refined hideaway with dark-painted walls, concealed lighting, and matching speakers. Reeded built-ins and a rift-cut oak desk anchor the space, while light linen window treatments, travel mementos, and books beside a leather sofa create a balanced spot for focused work, quiet reading, guitar breaks, and true downtime.

Whimsical, beach-inspired laundry room renovation brings ocean-blue cabinetry, aerial beachgoer wallpaper, and handmade patterned tile together for a bright, uplifting vibe.

Step into Casacquasanta’s transformed corridor, where light, texture, and custom millwork turn a pass-through into a gallery for daily living.

Step inside Casacquasanta’s custom foyer, where a fully arched French door meets perfectly matched openings to the dining room and office for calming symmetry.

This home bar showcases a renovation inspired by a moody Manhattan bistro, featuring an arched picture window, a custom mural, an antique pewter metal ceiling with cove lighting, and a grand chandelier. Arched passages lead to a wine room, herringbone floors ground the space, an authentic beer fridge stands ready, and a cantilevered floating hearth fireplace opens to a covered porch for gatherings.

Step inside a serene master bathroom where natural stone and marble surround a soaking tub framed by a full-height mosaic feature wall. Polished nickel "jewelry," custom fluted cerused vanities, an organic pattern shower floor, a cocoa bead chandelier, a softly barreled ceiling, and a vintage runner layer texture and warmth into a calm, contemporary retreat.

Casacquasanta’s temperature-controlled wine room renovation showcases black and white marble floors, dark walls that let the labels speak, three half-circle arches, and a groin vault ceiling washed by dimmable floor uplights. MRC’s carpenters built the custom door on site, creating a cozy, timeless space for easy access and pristine storage.
