Lake Street Design Co. was founded on a simple belief: that great architecture and inspired interior design can profoundly change the way people live. From our base on the shores of Lake Minnetonka, we have grown into one of the most recognized luxury design firms in the Midwest and a trusted partner for clients across the United States.
Every project begins with deep listening. We take the time to understand not just what a client wants, but how they move through a home, how they gather, how they rest, and what they hope to feel when they walk through the door. That understanding becomes the foundation for everything that follows, from the first site plan to the final finishing touch.
Our integrated approach, combining architecture, interior design, and landscape in a single studio, means the boundary between inside and outside, structure and surface, is seamless. The result is homes that feel inevitable. Cohesive. Deeply personal.
We work nationwide, but our heart is in Minnesota. The lakes, the light, the long winters and brilliant summers. All of it informs the way we design.
01
Every decision we make starts with a single question: does this serve the client? We measure success not in awards or accolades, but in homes that exceed expectations.
02
Details matter. We hold every specification, drawing, and material selection to the same exacting standard, because great architecture lives in the small things.
03
We design for decades, not seasons. Our homes age gracefully because we choose quality over trend and timelessness over novelty, every time.
04
Architecture, interiors, and landscape designed together from day one. The result is a coherence that can't be achieved any other way.
05
Clear communication, honest budgets, and realistic timelines. We keep you informed and involved at every stage. No surprises, no shortcuts.
06
Beautiful and responsible. We specify materials and systems that reduce environmental impact without compromising the luxury our clients deserve.
