Turning Your Ideas into Build-Ready Reality

Whether you are looking to expand your current home or build something entirely new, the journey begins with a smart design. At Ark Design & Build, we specialize in bridging the gap between a homeowner’s vision and the technical requirements of the Massachusetts and New Hampshire building codes.

Navigating zoning laws and structural requirements can be overwhelming. Our team simplifies the complex, providing you with professional architectural and structural plans that are ready for permitting and construction.

Our Specialties

We focus on residential projects that maximize the value and functionality of your property. Our core services include:

Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs): Expertly designed in-law suites, granny flats, and backyard cottages to provide extra living space or rental income.
House Additions & Expansions: Seamlessly integrating new rooms or second-story additions into your existing home’s footprint.
New Construction: Custom-designed homes tailored to your lifestyle and site-specific needs.
New Garages: From simple car storage to detached workshops with loft spaces.
Custom Residential Projects: Any architectural design challenge required to make your home work better for you.

Our Simple 3-Step Process

Free Video Call Consultation

We start with a deep dive into your project. We review your property, discuss local zoning requirements (setbacks, lot coverage, height limits), and check building code feasibility. By the end of this call, you’ll receive a clear written quote for the full architectural and structural design.

Site Scan & As-Built Drawings

Once we move forward, our team visits your property to perform a precise site scan. We create highly accurate “as-built” drawings of your existing structure to serve as the foundation for the new design.

Delivery of Complete Design Plans

We develop and deliver your full architectural and structural package. These plans are designed to meet all local regulations, making the permit application process as smooth as possible.
