Where vision
finds direction
We're Explore Design.
For over 40 years, we’ve been designing spaces that work hard, feel right, and belong where they land.
Built on legacy
We're an architecture and interior design firm based in Anchorage, working across Alaska and beyond. You may have known us as MCG Explore Design, or even McCool Carlson Green, a name rooted in the leadership, care, and values of our founders.
That foundation remains.
Our name has simply caught up.
Design Intent
As we expand our services and integrate new tools and technologies, we’re better equipped to collaborate, exploring ideas alongside our partners rather than simply presenting answers.
We’re deeply committed to regenerative, human-centered design: advocating for health and well-being, responding thoughtfully to place and culture, and designing with resilience in the face of Alaska’s evolving environmental challenges.
We believe the best work comes from deep engagement, shared purpose, and the kind of creative tension that builds trust, not ego.
