Ark Designs is New Zealand operated and owned, built to New Zealand Building Code Standards.  With our Multi-proof certificate, we are certified to build nationwide.   

OUR CABINS

THE ARK - 6m x 4.8m

THE FAMILY ARK - 9m x 4.8m

THE MICRO ARK - 2.1m x 2.4m

At Ark Designs we provide an alternative to tiny house living, that is not just a box.   Our designs are a simple and effective use of raw materials.  The Ark is built on and attached to pontoons, making them quick and easy to assemble without needing specific engineered foundations to suit your site.  These pontoons act as water tanks, allowing the potential to be completely self-contained.

​The Ark is built onsite by our team through-out New Zealand.  With our Multi-proof certificate, we are able to advise you through the building consent process.  Nicknamed the Ark because of its unique floating potential, your Ark will take approximately two-three weeks to build onsite, weather dependant.

TESTIMONIALS

  "The Ark is a life changer - paring wants down to needs and finding out what's really essential in life. You don't need a huge crippling mortgage or maxed out credit cards. Or to be tied to 50-60hr working weeks and never getting to spend time with family. Thank you Anton & Mel for this wonderful home concept and giving my daughter the opportunity of affordable home ownership. You guys ROCK!!! "    Donna Kuljish

"Thanks Ark designs for a fantastic new home. The Ark is put together with precision and care. It is a quality home at a reasonable price. We appreciate the assistance given in order to gain council consent and the hours that were put in the forefront and the background. We look forward to moving in within the next week. A Job well done.   Much appreciated Steve and Lisa Waghorn."
