A measured first look.
The result will summarize the property record, base zone, preliminary ADU paths, and the questions that still need design-level confirmation.
What we do
Architecture with a firm grasp of what it takes to get built.
Every service begins with the same discipline: understand the site, clarify the scope, and turn good decisions into a drawing set that moves work forward.

San Diego ADU guide
Regulations are the beginning, not the finish line.
The right ADU strategy is specific to your parcel, existing structures, zoning, overlays, utility conditions, and intended use.
Read the City’s ADU bulletinPermit pathway
A building permit is required for an ADU or JADU. A coordinated drawing set supports a clearer review path.
Setback strategy
Front, street-side, height, fire-hazard, and site-specific conditions all affect what can be placed where.
Size + living standards
City guidance outlines ADUs from 150 to 1,200 square feet and requires independent living facilities.
Site-specific review
Coastal overlay, base-zone, fire, utility, and code requirements can materially affect a viable plan.
Informational only. Requirements change and should be verified for the specific property with the relevant reviewing authority and licensed professionals as applicable.
How we work
A better process makes room for better decisions.
01
Listen
Align on the property, the project goals, budget context, and the decisions that matter first.
02
Study
Test site conditions, applicable regulations, layout options, and a practical permitting strategy.
03
Document
Develop precise, coordinated drawings prepared for review, pricing, and construction.
04
Support
Remain an engaged technical partner as the project progresses through approvals and delivery.
Verified work, responsibly shared
The portfolio is built on approved project documentation—not placeholders.
Client quotes, ratings, and photos are published only with explicit authorization. Until then, ARKITDESIGNS keeps the focus on accurate technical work and the owner-approved project gallery.
