Tucked away in the heart of the coveted former resort of Casa Blanca – renowned for its resort-style amenities, manicured gardens, and a vibrant social calendar featuring yoga in the rose garden and cocktail gatherings in the cactus garden – lies a newly reimagined residence that masterfully blends heritage with modern luxury.
This 2,125-square-foot, three-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home has been thoughtfully redesigned to honor the spirit of Casa Blanca’s rich architectural history while offering a tranquil, elevated living experience.
Far from the ubiquitous “white box” aesthetic that dominates many contemporary remodels, this retreat embraces a bold, design-forward approach. The result is a Moroccan-inspired sanctuary that stays rooted in the property’s past as a luxury resort. Every detail reflects a deliberate departure from trend-driven minimalism, replacing it with layered authenticity and craftsmanship.
“We wanted to create something that felt authentic to Casa Blanca’s history while bringing modern elements that today’s homeowner expects,” Haute House Design and Interior’s Jessica Ellingford and Jasmine Gray shard. “The goal was to make residents feel transported to a peaceful Mediterranean retreat the moment they step inside.”
A soft, neutral palette enriched with earthy undertones flows throughout the home, establishing a spa-like atmosphere. The architectural integrity of the original structure is preserved, with the renovation emphasizing harmony between interior design and the bones of the home. Each room introduces its own sensory experience, grounded in artisanal detail and natural materiality.
Carefully sourced limestone from Moroccan quarries underpins the home’s connection to its design inspiration. Custom lime-based plaster walls add an understated texture, while genuine Taj Mahal quartzite surfaces bring an element of refined elegance. Hand-crafted Zellige and Moroccan tiles bring moments of color and pattern, balanced by natural wood details and a mix of organic textures. Throughout, authentic Palecek lighting fixtures cast dramatic, distinctive shadows, subtly reinforcing the home’s Mediterranean ambiance.
In this reimagined Casa Blanca residence, listed for $3.25M by Siena Koppelman and Jennifer Burgess of RETSY, every corner tells a story. It’s not just restored, but reborn – a quiet celebration of heritage, artistry, and the enduring allure of thoughtful design. Learn more at retsy.com.
