Short answer
AI Exterior Design redesigns the outside of a building from one photo. DecorAI supports ten building types and ten architectural styles and can change siding, roofing, windows, doors, landscaping, exterior lighting, garage doors, porches, shutters and trim while keeping the building’s real shape.
What you can change
- Building types: Single Family Home, Townhouse, Modern Villa, Cottage, Colonial, Apartment Building, Ranch, Bungalow, Mansion, Duplex
- Styles: Modern, Colonial, Victorian, Mediterranean, Craftsman, Tudor, Contemporary, Farmhouse, Cape Cod, Industrial
- Elements: siding, roofing, windows, doors, landscaping, exterior lighting, garage doors, porches, shutters, trim
Getting a usable photo
- 1Shoot in daylight, ideally with the sun behind you rather than behind the house.
- 2Stand far enough back to capture the roofline and the ground in one frame.
- 3Photograph the facade reasonably straight on; extreme angles distort the result.
- 4Avoid cars, bins and people in front of the building where you can.
Exterior results are visual concepts. Roof structures, load-bearing walls, extensions and anything requiring planning permission must be checked with a qualified professional.
