Exterior design
AI exterior home design: from photo to renovation brief
Use a facade photograph to compare exterior materials, roof and trim colors, entries, windows, and landscaping without losing sight of feasibility.
Capture the complete building
Use a level daytime photo with roof edges, corners, openings, and the ground line visible. Avoid vehicles, trees, and deep shadows blocking the areas you want to study.
A three-quarter view communicates depth; a straight elevation-like view makes material comparison easier.
Coordinate the visible systems
Treat facade, roof, trim, windows, doors, gutters, lighting, paving, and planting as one palette. A restrained concept usually looks more credible than changing every element independently.
- ✓One dominant facade material
- ✓One supporting material
- ✓Consistent trim and metal finishes
- ✓A clear entry hierarchy
- ✓Landscape that fits climate and maintenance
Preserve what cannot casually move
Ask the tool to preserve roof geometry, window and door positions, floor levels, property boundaries, and neighboring context unless the project genuinely intends to change them.
When studying only colors or materials, say so explicitly.
Convert the result into checks
Use the preferred image to list material families and design intentions, then verify planning permission, structure, waterproofing, insulation, fire performance, drainage, wind exposure, maintenance, and cost locally.
The final facade should be designed and documented for the actual building and climate.
