Most beach houses play it safe. Casa Marea Viva was designed to do the exact opposite.
Created as a deeply personal family retreat along the New Jersey coast, this whole-home transformation reimagines coastal living through a lens of vibrant color, contemporary design, and joyful self expression. Inspired by the movement of the ocean, tropical landscapes, and the carefree spirit of seaside living, every room tells its own story while contributing to one cohesive vision.
The living room welcomes guests with a bold fireplace mural, warm salmon seating, and layered textures that balance playful energy with everyday comfort. In the dining room, dramatic jellyfish inspired wallpaper transforms the ceiling into an immersive experience, turning every meal into a memorable gathering. Throughout the home, saturated color palettes, sculptural lighting, and carefully selected materials replace predictable coastal clichés with spaces full of personality and depth.
Each bedroom was designed with its own distinct identity. The primary suite embraces calming seafoam hues for a restful escape, while the secondary bedrooms introduce playful combinations of color, pattern, and coastal motifs that celebrate family life without sacrificing sophistication.
From custom furnishings and layered finishes to thoughtful styling and meaningful artwork, every detail was selected to create a home that feels collected, vibrant, and unmistakably personal. Casa Marea Viva proves that coastal design doesn't have to blend into the shoreline. It can be expressive, colorful, and every bit as timeless as the memories made within its walls.
