ArkDesign.ai review
Automates multifamily and mixed-use schematics, with Revit exports on Premium.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
ArkDesign.ai is a web-based tool for architects and real estate developers planning multifamily or mixed-use projects. It automates schematic floor-plan generation and helps explore residential unit layouts and project feasibility. Users can define lot geometry, edit floor plates, draw corridors, place vertical cores such as stairs and elevators, and select a unit mix for layout generation. The vendor says the platform incorporates local building codes and ordinances, making it relevant to early design exploration rather than a general-purpose floor-plan tool.
Its editing workflow is tailored to these projects: lot dimensions and angles are editable, floor plates can be orthogonal or irregular, corridors can align to reference walls, and design entities such as walls can be adjusted through context menus. PDF reports are available on Lite and Pro. The emphasis on unit mixes, floor-plate geometry, corridors and cores suits teams comparing schematic configurations; buyers seeking broader building-design workflows should assess whether this focused scope fits their process.
The published plans separate learning resources from production capacity. Lite provides access to the knowledge center and free online courses. Pro includes 600 AI Generates, unlimited downloads and uploads for sharing and collaboration, certification, weekday office hours, and human support with a 24-hour response time. Premium adds unlimited projects, unlimited PDF reports and AI Generates, plus 3 Revit exports a month and consulting services and support. The higher listed plan amounts are the basis for the stated starting price, while the pricing page does not say whether charges are per user or flat. Choose ArkDesign.ai when multifamily schematic automation is central; look elsewhere if you need a wider design scope or more Revit exports than Premium provides.
