House Rendering

Generate architectural renders of buildings - either on an empty lot or by replacing an existing structure.

Watch a quick tutorial on House Rendering AI

Two Workflows

Empty Lot

Start with a photo of a vacant plot of land and generate a building design on it.

Existing Building

Start with a photo of a building you want to replace with a new design.

Empty Lot Workflow

Step 1: Upload a Plot Photo

  1. In your project, click Create New Asset and select House Render.
  2. Choose Empty Lot.
  3. Drag and drop a photo of your plot, or click to browse.
    • Formats: JPG, PNG, WEBP, HEIC
    • Max size: 10 MB
    • Best results: Clear, front-facing photo in daylight

Step 2: Analyze the Plot

Click Analyze Plot. The AI will detect the plot boundaries and display them as a blue outline on your photo.

Step 3: Adjust the Plot Diagram

Fine-tune the plot boundary:

  • Drag the blue corners to match the actual plot edges.
  • Add a point to create more precise boundaries.
  • Remove a point to simplify the shape.

Step 4: Set the Height Reference

This tells the AI how tall to make the building relative to the surroundings:

  1. Drag the edges of the height reference line to an object on the screen that represents a known height, ideally a nearby building.
  2. Adjust its height until it represents a round number of floors.
  3. Use +/- to set how many floors the reference height line represents.

Step 5: Configure the Building

Choose your design preferences:

Architectural Style - pick from 16 styles:

StyleStyle
ModernColonial
ContemporaryFarmhouse
MinimalistCraftsman
MediterraneanVictorian
BrutalistArt Deco
Mid-Century ModernIndustrial
JapandiCoastal
ScandinavianTropical Modern

Features - toggle optional elements:

  • Garage
  • Covered Parking
  • Water Feature
  • Garden

Floors - set the number of stories.

Address - optionally provide the property address (helps the AI match local architectural conventions).

Additional Notes - free text for specific requests like materials, landscaping, or surroundings.

Step 6: Generate

  • Set the Number of Renders (1–8, depending on your plan).
  • Click Generate Renders.

Existing Building Workflow

Step 1: Upload a Building Photo

  1. Choose Existing Building.
  2. Upload a photo of the building you want to replace.

Step 2: Detect Buildings

Click Detect Buildings. The AI identifies buildings in your photo and highlights them with colored polygons. Each detected building shows its estimated floor count.

Step 3: Define the generation area

To define the area the building will be generated in, you go through three steps:

Tab 1: Select Building

Click on the detected building you want to replace. The selected building's outline and plot boundary will be displayed based on AI analysis.

Tab 2: Building Outline

Adjust the building outline:

  • Drag the blue squares at each corner to match the building's actual edges.
  • Use the +/− buttons in the center to set the number of floors the current building has.
  • Click Confirm Building Outline to proceed.

Tab 3: Plot Edges

Define the full plot area, extending from the existing building's outline:

  • Drag the green circles to mark the plot boundary extending from the building.
  • Use + buttons at edge midpoints to add extra corners for irregular plots.
  • Use × buttons above corners to remove them (minimum 3 corners).
  • Click Confirm Plot Edges to finish.

After confirming the plot and building outline, a 3D building volume preview appears on the photo. If you need to make adjustments, click on "Adjust building / plot" in the top-right corner of the photo.

Step 4: Configure and Generate

Same configuration options as the empty lot workflow - choose a style, features, floors, and notes, then click Generate Renders.

Tips for Best Results

  • Front-facing angles - the AI works best with straight-on building views.
  • Set the height reference carefully - this directly affects the scale of the generated building.
  • Include an address - the AI can adapt the design to match the locale.
  • Use notes for specifics - mention materials ("white stucco"), landscaping ("palm trees"), or context ("corner lot with ocean view").
  • Generate then adjust - examine the result after generation - if the shape, scale or perspective is incorrect, click on "New Render" and use the "Adjust building / plot" option to refine, building and plot boundaries and number of floors.
