How to Use AI to Visualize Your Home Before the First Brick is Laid.

See how we use AI and Midjourney to revolutionize home design. Explore photorealistic visualizations that help you see your home before building.

prompt: An editorial image from Architectural Digest of a mdcentury modern John Lautner house on a cliff that overlooks Los Angeles. The blue sky with clouds over the brilliant architecture of the beautiful, exclusive and expensively unique concrete house -- ar 3:2 -- uplight -- v 5 (variation of an original set of images)


We use 'Atmospheric Prompting' to explore the mood of a site. For example, by describing a John Lautner-inspired cliffside home in Los Angeles, we can test how concrete textures interact with the specific blue of the California sky before we even sketch a single line."


Why this matters for your project:

  • Rapid Iteration: We can 'try on' different materials (wood vs. steel vs. stone) in seconds.

  • Emotional Alignment: We ensure the 'vibe' of the house matches your vision before the expensive technical drawings begin.

  • Environmental Context: We can simulate how the Pacific Northwest pine trees or a desert sunset will reflect off your windows.


While I use AI tools to help visualize concepts and streamline my writing, every design and architectural insight on this blog is backed by my professional experience and human oversight.

Looking Ahead: The Future of Your Project

While these AI tools are still evolving, their value to you is available right now. We aren't just using AI to create "stunning images"—we are using it to ensure your investment is protected by visualizing the end result with total clarity.

If you are ready to stop guessing what your future home will look like and want to see it for yourself, let’s start the conversation.

Oblivion Sky Tower

Image
A Futuristic Modern Architecture Box (dubbed the Sky Tower) nestled in the surreal setting above the clouds in the (futurist post apocalyptic) movie Oblivion  (2013) written and directed by Joseph Kosinski . The home takes some obvious inspiration from the Stahl House aka Case Study # 22 by Architect Pierre Koenig . The home has some obvious improvements with the the extended helipad over the see through acrylic infinity pool. The foundation of the home is on a unbelievably thin single (steel?) column that seems to be unaffected by the wind throughout the movie. The Director Joseph Kosinski conceived of the sky tower design with early 3D modeling renderings that he made. Joseph Kosinski graduated from Columbia University with a degree in Architecture that explains the strong modern design elements in his work. Kosinski admits that his production design team refined his early ideas into finished reality . The set is a crisp clean design and the frameless g...

32 Simple and Basic Design Ideas of Frank Lloyd Wright

Image
I was recently reading an article from the September issue of 1956 House and Home and was astounded to see an interesting FLLW article with tips for the average home builder. As I was reading through the article I was realizing that those tips and advise were still just as pertinent today as it was in 1956. The particular house the article refers to is the Zimmerman house built in Manchester, New Hampshire. The home is part of a series of homes that Wright built known as the Unisonian Homes that were low cost homes for moderate income families. 32 Simple and Basic Design Ideas of Frank Lloyd Wright 1. Stress the Horizontals. (a) Stretch the roof line. (b) Keep the fascia in one straight line except for a good reason. (c) Define a strong middle line. 2. Don't waste a big overhang on the north, and don't feel you must use the same roof pitch on both sides. 3. Keep the roof line low. 4. Don't build a whole wall and punch holes in it for your windows.

Post Tensioned Cables

Image
The Invisible Muscle: Engineering the Weightless Slab In modern residential architecture, we often chase the "impossible" cantilever—those thin, gravity-defying planes that define the work of John Lautner or Pierre Koenig. But to achieve that aesthetic of weightlessness, the structure has to work twice as hard. This is where Post-Tensioned (PT) Cables come in. Unlike standard rebar, which is passive, PT cables are an active system. We aren't just reinforcing the concrete; we are putting it under immense compression to make it behave like a rigid, high-strength spring. Concrete Deck w/ Electrical Boxes Installed The Anatomy of the Deck The process begins with a meticulous layout. On this project, we used a board-form finish inlay on top of the plywood decking. This ensures that the underside of the slab—the "ceiling" for the floor below—retains the organic texture of wood grain once the forms are stripped. Before the first cable is run, hundreds of elec...
