SANTIAGO II

Iconic 1957 Mid-century Modern home nestled in Newport Beach, California, has become synonymous with the majestic Brazilian peppertree adorning its front yard, a beloved landmark cherished by locals. However, until recently the tree's grandeur could only be glimpsed through a modest kitchen window. In the spring of 2020, with new owners taking the helm of the four-bedroom dwelling, they sought the expertise of Shannon McLaren from Prairie, local interior designer, and Denise Xagorarakis of XAG Designs, architect to reinvent the 4,419-square-foot midcentury modern bungalow into a radiant, contemporary living space that would rightfully celebrate the splendor of the iconic tree. Main En-suite Bedroom and Office wing addition added in 2012 by Others also reimagined by Prairie Interiors.
