Elevate your property value with our ADU
& DADU design solutions.

At Ark Design, we specialize in crafting exceptional ADU and DADU designs tailored for homeowners and real estate professionals in jurisdictions such as Seattle, Bellevue, Kirkland, Kenmore, Redmond, and numerous others across King and Snohomish counties.

At Ark Design, we excel in crafting custom ADUs that perfectly match each client's vision and comply with local regulations. Every project we take on is unique and distinct. Before diving into detailed design, we recommend a comprehensive property assessment to maximize the potential of your planned ADU. This assessment reveals key insights into ADU possibilities, providing a strategic advantage—unless, of course, you've already conducted your own research. 

We're often asked: How ADU is different from DADU ?

An accessory dwelling unit (ADU) refers to a distinct residential area located either within a dwelling or on the same premises as an existing residence. It's essential to note that these units can only be considered legal if they have undergone the proper permit approval. When a residential unit within a home is legally permitted, it is termed an attached accessory dwelling unit (AADU).

 

In contrast, a legally approved unit situated on the property but separate from the main dwelling is referred to as a detached accessory dwelling unit (DADU) or a backyard cottage. It's worth mentioning that tiny houses with foundations fall into the category of DADUs.
