Render a House
AI renderer for architecture that turns floor plans, sketches and 3D models into photorealistic images and clips.
Render a House is an AI rendering tool that converts floor plans, sketches and 3D models into photorealistic images while keeping the drawn geometry. Render a House is used by uploading a design, choosing a style, generating the render and refining it with text instructions, then sharing the project with clients through a link.
Best for Architects and small studios who want fast renders from sketches or SketchUp-type models and a simple way to collect client feedback.

What is Render a House?
Render a House is an AI rendering tool aimed at architects, designers and people planning a house. It accepts a floor plan, a hand sketch or a 3D model in SKP, GLB or OBJ format and returns a photorealistic image, reading the existing design and keeping its geometry. Materials, lighting and anything not yet drawn can then be adjusted with written instructions. An imported model remains a model: you orbit it, save camera views, and each saved view becomes a render. Other functions relight a scene for different times of day, place the model at a real address, switch between photoreal, clay and linework styles, and animate a render or the camera move between two views. A project can be handed to a client as a link where they orbit the model and pin comments. Usage runs on credits, with a free tier of three credits per day.

Lets you orbit an uploaded model in the browser and turn every saved camera position into its own render.
Relighting
Shows the same project at different hours of the day without manual light setup.
Real Site Placement
Positions the model at an actual address to see how it sits in its surroundings.
