AI architecture generator: describe a building or upload a sketch, get a design concept

Write the brief the way you would tell an architect (plot, storeys, rooms, style, materials) or upload the sketch you have. About 30 seconds later you see the building, ready for a client meeting, a bank or a planning talk.

Real examples

Outputs of this tool from sample drawings (no customer project is shown), unretouched.

Hand sketch of a modern two-storey house with a reflecting pool
Input: perspective hand sketch
Photoreal render of the same modern house with matching geometry, materials and dusk light
Output: photoreal concept with the same massing and camera
2D front elevation drawing of a two-storey modern family house
Input: 2D front elevation (sample drawing)
Photorealistic exterior render generated from the elevation drawing
Output: one generation, unretouched. The AI read the roof as a side gable; a short follow-up prompt fixes details like that.

What customers generate

Typical requests from paying customers, lightly shortened:

  • “Design a modern two-storey house on a 50 × 70 ft plot.”
  • “A garage with an apartment upstairs, wooden cladding, show it from the driveway.”
  • “Office building concept, three floors, glass facade and a green roof.”
  • “Restaurant interior for 60 seats, warm industrial style, open kitchen.”
  • “Correct the perspective of my sketch, add materials and make an attractive rendering.”

How to write a brief that works

Start with the building type, the plot and the number of storeys, then the rooms or uses that matter most. Name two or three materials and the roof form. End with the view you want to see: from the street at eye level, from the garden, or an aerial view of the whole site.

If you already have a drawing, upload it and say what must stay fixed, for example the proportions, the window positions and the roof shape. The result then follows your design instead of inventing a new one.

Improve the result with short follow-ups such as “make the roof a front gable” or “switch the cladding to brick”, rather than rewriting the whole brief. Each try takes about 30 seconds.

Need the floor plan as well?

Plan Chat, our house designer, turns one message into a dimensioned floor plan, a 3D model and PDF, DXF, IFC and GLB files, then changes the plan when you ask in plain words. The two images below are its unretouched output for the brief “single-story modern ranch, 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, open kitchen with a big island, 2-car garage, about 1,900 sq ft”.

FAQ

What is an AI architecture generator?

A tool that turns a written brief, a sketch, an elevation or a model screenshot into an architectural design image: an exterior or interior concept, a massing study or a photoreal render. Here a result takes about 30 seconds and needs no 3D model.

What can I start from?

A text brief (building type, plot size, storeys, rooms, style, materials), a hand sketch, a 2D facade or elevation, a floor plan, a photo of the site or of an existing building, or a screenshot from SketchUp, Revit, Rhino or ArchiCAD. Upload the image in the tool above and describe what you want.

Do I get floor plans too?

This generator makes design images. For a clean 2D floor plan drawing, use floorplan.ai-architectures.com; for a measured plan with DXF for AutoCAD, use Plan Chat. For a whole house with a dimensioned plan, 3D model and PDF, DXF, IFC and GLB files that you change by chatting, use Plan Chat, on the same account and credits.

Can I design commercial buildings?

Yes. Customers generate offices, showrooms, restaurants, clinics, hotels, gyms and apartment blocks the same way: describe the program and the site, or upload the drawing you have.

Are the designs buildable?

They are concepts for options, client meetings, bank and planning conversations. Dimensions are not guaranteed and there is no structural or code check. A licensed architect or engineer has to develop the design before permits and construction.

What does it cost?

Each design image is one generation. Plans start at $29/month for 50 generations ($19/month billed annually); Pro is $79/month for 200. There is no free tier. Cancel anytime.
