1. What services do you get at Carter Home and Design?At Carter Home and Design, our focus is residential design, but we've also been known to delve into commercial and institutional projects. On the residential side, we love designing new custom homes; be it infills or acreages. Through a surge in the popularity of barndominiums (a.k.a. barndos) we have gained a ton of experience in the southern United States providing custom barndo designs. We hope to see the barndo trend expand to the great white north in coming years. In Calgary, Backyard Suites have gained traction as a great way to supplement income, provide a space for kids who are just leaving the nest, or to act as a home base for retirees for when they aren't travelling the world. We love designing Backyard Suites! Renovation and addition design is a whole different animal. It requires a team who understands how a house is put together, and what is required to make it a sound structure once the dust has settled. Luckily, we have completed many successful renovation designs.
