In our twelve years in business, McCarten Design has stayed true to our motto “Creating environments that reflect your personal needs, wants and desires”.  From simple lakeside cottages to the finest quality country estates, we dedicate ourselves to designing homes that are unique to our clients.

McCarten Design specializes in period-inspired lake homes. Our projects also include home remodels, additions, restorations, and space redesign and/or updating. Our services include architectural design, interior design, kitchens, baths, custom cabinetry and fireplace design.  (See Scope of Services )

Located in Alexandria Minnesota, our design services are not limited geographically. McCarten Design has assisted clients from around the United States, designing, consulting and providing support services to our client’s General Contractor via the Internet, along with on-site visits.

Every client is unique with exclusive needs, wants and desires. This provides us with a distinctive and unique creative process and design on each of our projects.

Our knowledge and experience allows us to produce residential designs that realize your visions while creating an aesthetic that is sensitive to time and place.
