embracing ai - image enhancement 02 - archivinci

11/13/2025

0 Comments

 
I tested out another AI powered image generator (ArchiVinci) and the result is quite impressive given the fact that it was generated from a single attempt on prompt. AI couldn't pick up some prompts I wrote but overall generated an image significantly enhancing the original conceptual rendering into realistic image.

Compared to the duplex development concept design used in image enhancement experimentation 01, this terrace triplex development concept used in this experimentation 02 is more advanced which might have influenced the quality of outcome. Nonetheless, I think it's quite impressive given it took less than 5 minutes to generate an image.  Before and after images shown below.  Feel free to post comments.

embracing ai - image enhancement 01 - mnml.ai

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly prevalent across all industries and architecture is no exception. I tested out an online AI rendering tool (mnml.ai) using one of my early conceptual design for a potential duplex development.  I had to do multiple prompt revisions to capture my design intent. Final outcome does not fully illustrate design intent but decent enough for stakeholder engagement. Traditional visualization would typically take a couple of days, but this AI-assisted process took about 10 minutes. Before and after images shown below.  Feel free to post comments.

Preferred Home Styles by ages/ Generations

11/12/2025

I was curious about any coalition between house styles and ages or generations especially metro suburb like Bergen County NJ.  Following captures preferences and priorities influenced by ages, which would help making informed decision in real estate investments.

Gen Z / Millennials
  • Priorities: Affordability, location, modern amenities
  • Styles: Condos, townhouses, Cape Cod, split-levels

Gen X / Families
  • Priorities: Space, top schools, extra bedrooms
  • Styles: Colonials, Ranch, Tudors, new builds

Boomers / Seniors
  • Priorities: Single-level, low maintenance, healthcare
  • Styles: Ranch, smaller Colonials, condos
