AI Architecture Render: Exteriors and Interiors
Generate exterior and interior architecture renders from text or a reference image: concept visuals, material studies, and presentation images.
TL;DR
From a description or a reference image to a presentation-ready architecture render in minutes.
Who this is for
- Architects exploring concepts before committing to 3D production.
- Developers previewing buildings and interiors for presentations.
- Marketers producing property visuals from plans or sketches.

Parameters
| Parameter | Supported value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Image models | GPT Image 2, GPT Image 2.5 Flare, GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst, Nano Banana, Nano Banana Pro, Seedream 5 Lite, Seedream 5 Pro | Choose the model per task inside the studio. |
| Input | Text prompt or one reference image | Sketches, photos, and previous renders all work as references. |
| Aspect ratios | 1:1, 16:9, 4:3, 3:2, 9:16 and more | Available presets depend on the model. |
| Output size | 1K to 4K depending on model | 4K tiers cost more credits. |
| Processing | Asynchronous | Kansova polls task status until completion. |
Pricing
Kansova bills generations in credits. Basic is $9.90/month for 300 credits; Pro is $19/month for 750 credits; Studio is $39/month for 1,700 credits.
| Generation | Kansova credits | Cost methodology |
|---|---|---|
| GPT Image 2 | 2 credits (1K/2K) | 4K bills at 4 credits |
| Nano Banana | 4 credits (1K/2K) | 4K bills at 8 credits |
| Seedream 5 Pro | 4 credits (1K) / 6 credits (2K) | 4K requests are delivered and billed as 2K |
| GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst | 2-22 credits by quality tier | 2K doubles and 4K quadruples the 1K rate |

| Style range | Describe any direction | Artist's style | Requires assets and setup | Fixed library |
| Cost | From 2 credits per render | High per-view fees | Software plus time | Per-image licensing |
| Best for | Concept and presentation | Final marketing imagery | Documentation | Generic visuals |
Prompt examples
- 01
Modern concrete courtyard house at dusk, warm interior lights, reflecting pool, minimalist planting, photorealistic, 35mm perspective. - 02
Glass office tower lobby interior, double-height space, terrazzo floor, oak slat reception wall, daylight from a full-height curtain wall. - 03
Coastal villa concept: white volumes, large glazing, infinity pool, late afternoon sun, low camera angle from the garden.
Known limitations
- Concept visuals, not construction documents.
- Geometry can drift between generations; keep one reference image consistent across a series.
- Text and signage in renders are unreliable; add them in post when needed.
Alternatives
Frequently asked questions
Can I render from a sketch or photo?
Yes. Upload one reference image (a sketch, photo, or previous render) and describe the material, light, and camera changes you want.
Is this a replacement for 3D software?
It is a fast concept and presentation tool. Final documentation and construction drawings still belong in 3D or CAD software.
What affects the cost?
Model and output resolution: edits start at 2 credits on GPT Image 2, and 4K output costs more. The total is shown before you generate.
Can I keep the same building across multiple images?
Use the same reference image and repeat the fixed descriptions in every prompt. Consistency is best-effort, so check each result.
