What is an AI image generator for architects?

Turn a massing screenshot or sketch into an image for a design review. In Batch Banana, specify the volumes and camera angle to keep, then describe the materials, light and setting. Use the results to discuss design options with clients, not as construction drawings. Start free.

Massing to render

From massing to render

Nano Banana 2.1 turns this generated photo of a card model into a larch-clad house and studio. The two volumes and connecting link remain, viewed from a similar angle.

A generated phone photo of a white card massing model on a birch desk: two long gabled volumes joined by a thin flat link on a grey-board contour base, small dried-flower trees along the back, a steel ruler and a green cutting mat at the edges
The massing model rendered by AI as a built house: a larch-clad gabled house and a studio with a fully glazed gable, grey zinc roofs and a flat link, in long meadow grass at the edge of a wood in late warm sun

Render the white card massing model in Image 1 as the real, built house photographed on its site. Keep the two gabled volumes, their proportions, the angle between them, the flat-roofed link and the camera position exactly. The grey-board contours become a gently sloping hay meadow and the dried-flower trees become real oaks and birches at the edge of a wood, with a soft green valley beyond. The longer volume is the house, the shorter one is the studio with one fully glazed gable end. Walls in vertical untreated larch boards, honey colored; roofs in pre-weathered grey standing-seam zinc; a few tall windows with deep oak reveals in the long sides. Low late-afternoon sun from the left, long shadows across the grass, a clear pale sky. A calm, warm architectural photograph on 35mm film. No people, no text.

Facade options

Three claddings and a dusk view

Larch, charred timber and lime brick, each applied to the same model photo. The dusk view uses the larch render as its reference. Check each result against your 3D model: windows and gables can shift.

    Charred timber

    Render the white card massing model in Image 1 as the real, built house photographed on its site. Keep the two gabled volumes, their proportions, the angle between them, the flat-roofed link and the camera position exactly. The grey-board contours become a gently sloping hay meadow and the dried-flower trees become real oaks and birches at the edge of a wood, with a soft green valley beyond. The longer volume is the house, the shorter one is the studio with one fully glazed gable end. Walls in vertical charred black timber boards with a soft silver sheen; roofs in black standing-seam zinc; a few tall windows with deep oak reveals in the long sides.

    Lime brick

    Render the white card massing model in Image 1 as the real, built house photographed on its site. Keep the two gabled volumes, their proportions, the angle between them, the flat-roofed link and the camera position exactly. The grey-board contours become a gently sloping hay meadow and the dried-flower trees become real oaks and birches at the edge of a wood, with a soft green valley beyond. The longer volume is the house, the shorter one is the studio with one fully glazed gable end. Walls and roofs in one material: pale lime-washed handmade brick on the walls and matching pale clay tiles on the roofs, so each volume reads as one soft warm-white form; a few tall windows with deep oak reveals in the long sides. Low late-afternoon sun from the left, long shadows across the grass, a clear pale sky. A calm, warm architectural photograph on 35mm film. No people, no text.

  • The larch render turned to dusk by AI: amber light in every window and filling the studio's glazed gable under a deep blue sky, the last glow over the valley

    Dusk

    Show the same house and studio in Image 1 from the same camera at dusk, twenty minutes after sunset. Keep both buildings, their larch walls, zinc roofs, windows, the glazed gable, the link, the trees and the valley exactly. A deep blue evening sky with the last pale glow over the valley; warm amber light inside every window and filling the studio's glazed gable, spilling onto the grass; the larch walls soft and dark. Calm, warm architectural photograph on 35mm film. No people, no text.

  • A generated phone photo of an empty hay meadow on a slope: a mown path up the middle, four thin pegs with orange tape in the long grass and clover, an oak and birch wood behind and a green valley on the right under an overcast sky
    The empty meadow with the larch house and glazed-gable studio built into the slope by AI where the pegs stood, the mown path, the wood and the valley unchanged under the same overcast sky

    Empty site to house on site

    The larch house sits where the taped pegs marked the empty meadow. The mown path, woodland and valley remain, with fresh earth behind the building.

    Summer to snow

    Fresh snow covers the meadow and frost coats the oaks and birches, with the buildings shown from the same angle.

Architecture

Images for early design decisions

  • A render from a massing model

    The old way

    Set up materials, lights and entourage, then wait for the render before the next change.

    With Batch Banana

    Attach a screenshot of the massing model. Name what stays and describe the cladding, glazing and light.

  • Facade options

    The old way

    Model and render each option, even the ones you will drop.

    With Batch Banana

    Keep one view and change only the facade in each prompt: brick, timber, perforated metal.

  • Context shots

    The old way

    Visit the site for photos, or trace a street view for a collage.

    With Batch Banana

    Attach a site photo and your view. Say where the building sits and what stays.

  • Mood for a competition

    The old way

    Paint over a render by hand to get dusk, rain or a crowd in the square.

    With Batch Banana

    Ask for the same view at dusk, in rain or full of people, with the building kept.

Try it with your massing model

Attach a screenshot from your 3D model or a photo of your card model in the generator, then describe the materials and the setting.

The massing model rendered by AI as a built house: a larch-clad gabled house and a studio with a fully glazed gable, grey zinc roofs and a flat link, in long meadow grass at the edge of a wood in late warm sun

Render the white card massing model in Image 1 as the real, built house photographed on its site. Keep the two gabled volumes, their proportions, the angle between them, the flat-roofed link and the camera position exactly. The grey-board contours become a gently sloping hay meadow and the dried-flower trees become real oaks and birches at the edge of a wood, with a soft green valley beyond. The longer volume is the house, the shorter one is the studio with one fully glazed gable end. Walls in vertical untreated larch boards, honey colored; roofs in pre-weathered grey standing-seam zinc; a few tall windows with deep oak reveals in the long sides. Low late-afternoon sun from the left, long shadows across the grass, a clear pale sky. A calm, warm architectural photograph on 35mm film. No people, no text.

A generated photo inside the studio: a larch frame and boarded ceiling, a glazed gable looking onto the meadow and valley, a long oak table with rolled drawings and one person reading at the far end, low sun on the oak floor

The inside of the studio in Image 1, the shorter building with the fully glazed gable, photographed from the back of the room looking toward the glazed gable and the valley beyond. Keep the building's materials: an exposed larch frame and boarded larch ceiling following the pitched roof, pale oak floor, the gable glazed floor to ridge in slim oak frames. A long oak drawing table with a few rolled drawings and a lamp, one wooden chair, a low shelf of books. Late-afternoon sun comes in low through the glass and lays long warm patches across the floor; outside, the meadow and the soft green valley. One person sits small at the far end of the table, seen from behind, reading. Calm, warm architectural interior photograph on 35mm film. No text.

The larch render turned to dusk by AI: amber light in every window and filling the studio's glazed gable under a deep blue sky, the last glow over the valley

Show the same house and studio in Image 1 from the same camera at dusk, twenty minutes after sunset. Keep both buildings, their larch walls, zinc roofs, windows, the glazed gable, the link, the trees and the valley exactly. A deep blue evening sky with the last pale glow over the valley; warm amber light inside every window and filling the studio's glazed gable, spilling onto the grass; the larch walls soft and dark. Calm, warm architectural photograph on 35mm film. No people, no text.

The larch render turned to winter by AI: fresh snow on the roofs and the meadow, frost on the oaks and birches and a pale blue sky, the house and studio unchanged

Show the same house and studio in Image 1 from the same camera on a still winter morning after fresh snow. Keep both buildings, their larch walls, zinc roofs, windows, the glazed gable, the link, the trees and the valley exactly. A smooth layer of snow on the roofs, the meadow and the branches; frost on the oaks and birches; a soft warm light on in the studio's glazed gable. Low clear sun from the left, a pale blue sky, long blue shadows on the snow. A calm, warm architectural photograph on 35mm film. No people, no text.

The empty meadow with the larch house and glazed-gable studio built into the slope by AI where the pegs stood, the mown path, the wood and the valley unchanged under the same overcast sky

Build the house and studio from Image 2 on the meadow in Image 1. Keep Image 1's camera, the meadow, the mown path, the wood and the valley view exactly. Place the two gabled larch volumes and their flat-roofed link inside the rectangle marked by the four orange-taped pegs, sitting into the slope, the glazed gable of the studio facing the valley on the right; take their materials, windows and proportions from Image 2, scaled to the pegs. Remove the pegs. Same bright overcast afternoon light as Image 1, with the house lit to match. A believable photograph of the finished building, 35mm film color. No people, no text.

The massing model rendered by AI in charred black timber boards with black zinc roofs and warm oak window reveals, the house and studio in a sunlit meadow below oaks and birches

Render the white card massing model in Image 1 as the real, built house photographed on its site. Keep the two gabled volumes, their proportions, the angle between them, the flat-roofed link and the camera position exactly. The grey-board contours become a gently sloping hay meadow and the dried-flower trees become real oaks and birches at the edge of a wood, with a soft green valley beyond. The longer volume is the house, the shorter one is the studio with one fully glazed gable end. Walls in vertical charred black timber boards with a soft silver sheen; roofs in black standing-seam zinc; a few tall windows with deep oak reveals in the long sides. Low late-afternoon sun from the left, long shadows across the grass, a clear pale sky. A calm, warm architectural photograph on 35mm film. No people, no text.

Model comparison

One dusk view on three models

The same prompt, with the credits each run took. Look at the glazed gable, the meadow and how each model lights the dusk.

Same prompt, every model

A timber house and a separate studio on a sloping hay meadow at the edge of an oak and birch wood, at dusk: two long single-storey gabled volumes clad in vertical larch boards with grey standing-seam zinc roofs, set at a slight angle and joined by a low flat-roofed link; the studio's gable end is fully glazed and lit warm from inside. A soft green valley beyond under a deep blue evening sky. An architectural photograph on 35mm film, eye level from the meadow. No people, no text.

How it works

  1. Start from your own view

    Export a screenshot of the massing model, or photograph your card model. Fix the camera before you ask for materials.

  2. Describe what to change

    List what must stay, such as the volumes, the openings and the horizon, then describe the facade, the light and the setting for each option.

  3. Prepare views for presentation

    Upscale the views you pick for a board or a print. Precision keeps the detail that is already there.
