OLEG & SONS · DESIGN | BUILD | REMODEL
Give your Kirkland property another front door and a thoughtfully independent home.
Plan a smaller independent home that fits your Kirkland property and the people sharing it. Compare an existing-building conversion with a backyard residence, then resolve entrances, outdoor space, and the current city review process together.
A property-specific proposal begins with your site and intended use.
Share your Kirkland address and the way you want the space to work.
REVIEW YOUR KIRKLAND PROPERTY
Kirkland's ADU choices include existing-building conversions and detached designs, including a city pre-approved program. Compare those routes through your property's access, sunlight, privacy, and outdoor routines before deciding how another household should fit comfortably here.
Kirkland offers pre-approved detached ADU designs. Review those alongside a custom approach, considering how each plan handles your lot's access, sunlight, existing house, and household needs. A reviewed building design still needs a suitable site solution.
Kirkland's adopted 2025 changes added flexibility for converting existing structures, including some that do not meet current setbacks or lot coverage. Ask Planning to evaluate your specific building before assuming either that it must be demolished or that conversion is approved.
Plot both entrances, private sitting areas, bins, deliveries, and routes from the street. This household planning exercise helps an ADU feel independent without turning the main home's garden or front door into a circulation corridor.
Bring the address and existing plans. Confirm the applicable jurisdiction before planning your Kirkland project.
BUDGET FOR YOUR KIRKLAND PROJECT
Compare custom and pre-approved design routes alongside Kirkland site work, access, service connections, and construction. A useful budget separates the building from property-specific costs and identifies assumptions before decisions harden.
800 sq ft to review
Area planner only. Construction pricing for Kirkland follows review of the property, design, site work, fees, allowances and taxes in your written proposal.
Review the Kirkland scope ↗Begin with the household and the lot. A pre-approved design, custom cottage, or conversion should be evaluated for its entrance, privacy, utility connections, and relationship to the main home first.
| Scope item | What your proposal should clarify |
|---|---|
| Design & engineering | Architect and engineering responsibilities, site documents, and any designer’s plan-license fees. |
| Permits & City fees | Applications, review fees, required permits and who is responsible for each cost. |
| Site preparation | Existing structures, demolition, excavation, access, drainage and any site-specific work. |
| Utility connections | Water, sewer, electrical service, connection routes and any required upgrades. |
| Interiors & selections | Cabinetry, surfaces, flooring, fixtures, appliances and the allowances for your selections. |
| Taxes & changes | Tax treatment, exclusions, payment milestones and how changes are priced and approved. |
The floor area is a planning input. Confirm the complete Kirkland project scope, exclusions and total price before construction.

THE SEATTLE DESIGN COLLECTION
Seattle's ADUniverse offers 183 catalog entries, 31 with plans, for exploring smaller-home arrangements. Compare these references with Kirkland's pre-approved DADU options and your household's needs. Seattle catalog inclusion does not imply Kirkland approval, a suitable site plan, or completed local permit review for your property.
These 10 designs are listed as pre-approved in Seattle’s gallery. Site-specific permitting and a plan license from the designer are still required.
No designs match these filters. Try another size or search term.
We’ll help you explore access, site conditions, layout and construction for your property.
Seattle’s pre-approved designation is specific to the City’s program. For Bellevue or another nearby city, confirm the applicable local review and approval path.

Availability, approval and licensing must be confirmed with the City and designer. Catalog checked October 22, 2026.
This is Seattle’s ADUniverse collection. Its Seattle status does not establish approval for a Kirkland property. Plan licensing, local eligibility and site-specific permits must be checked with the relevant authority.
DESIGNED AROUND REAL LIFE
These AI-generated concepts suggest ways to combine comfort and compact planning. Use them to compare preferences, then test the ideas against your Kirkland property's daylight, dimensions, access, and budget requirements.
AI design conceptExplore how the entrance, kitchen, and seating can form a comfortable first impression. The concept is useful for discussing daily circulation and a place to welcome visitors.
AI design conceptImagine a quiet room with deliberate window orientation and storage. Actual sightlines to the main house and neighbors should guide the design for your Kirkland lot.

START WITH YOUR PROPERTY
Consider both the building and the space between homes. Kirkland's current rules provide choices, but the right configuration depends on the structure, property conditions, and household's desired independence.
Tell us about your propertyCompare a custom design with Kirkland's pre-approved options, then coordinate an entrance, private windows, outdoor areas, and utilities for the actual lot.
Plan an addition that shares a building connection while giving each household a clear entrance and a useful relationship to daylight and outdoor space.
Investigate a garage or other candidate structure under current conversion rules. Confirm structural upgrades, dwelling requirements, and the city's treatment of any existing nonconformities.
FROM YOUR KIRKLAND ADDRESS TO HANDOVER
Begin by comparing the available routes, then develop one coordinated proposal. A pre-approved building plan can inform the process; the property's conditions and remaining review requirements still shape the schedule.
Establish boundaries, structures, access routes, utility information, and the areas each household will use outdoors.
Compare custom, pre-approved, and conversion possibilities. Develop the selected approach around privacy, daylight, independent access, and a written scope.
Confirm the application requirements and the site-specific work that remains, including any existing-building questions and supporting reports.
Carry out approved site, building, and utility work, maintaining the inspection sequence and coordinating the selected finishes.
Resolve remaining items, complete required inspections, and explain systems and maintenance so the new home is understood at handover.
The design team, reviewing authority, site conditions and material lead times shape your Kirkland sequence. We refine milestones as the documents and permit path become clear, then confirm the construction schedule in the agreement.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
These questions help compare Kirkland's ADU routes. Confirm current requirements for the property and selected design before assuming a pre-approved plan or existing building resolves the entire project.
Ask us your questionYes. The city's housing resources include a pre-approved DADU program. Compare available designs and any designer terms with your requirements, and confirm the site-specific application and review work that remains for your property.
It may be worth evaluating. The 2025 amendments expanded opportunities to convert existing structures despite certain setback or coverage nonconformities. Planning and building review still need to address the actual structure and proposal; the amendment is not an automatic conversion approval.
Choose the entrance after comparing access, privacy, daylight, and shared outdoor routes. The two homes can work together without forcing identical daily paths. The site design must also satisfy the city's current requirements for the proposed ADU configuration.
Kirkland's comprehensive plan includes individual neighborhood plans. Reviewing that context alongside parcel conditions helps frame a conversation about the existing house, access, landscaping, and the scale of a new home. The applicable development rules still need a property-specific city check.
Your Kirkland price is developed around the selected layout and property review. The written proposal should identify design responsibilities, site preparation, utility connections, finishes, allowances, exclusions, fees and taxes. The area planner on this page does not calculate a construction price.
