# AI Exterior Design

Upload a photo of a house and describe the change — new siding, a different palette, modern landscaping. Made renders the updated exterior on the same structure, so you can preview curb appeal before committing.

## How to use AI Exterior Design

1. **Photograph the house**
   Shoot straight-on or at a slight angle in daylight, with the full facade in frame.
2. **Describe the redesign**
   Name materials and colors specifically — “white board-and-batten, cedar accents, black roof.”
3. **Compare against the original**
   Check that rooflines, windows, and proportions match the real structure.
4. **Iterate one change at a time**
   Vary a single element per request to isolate what actually improves the look.

## What people use it for

- **Renovation previews** See siding, paint, and roofing options on your actual house before hiring a contractor.
- **Curb appeal for sale** Visualize the refreshed version of a listing to plan pre-sale improvements.
- **Landscaping concepts** Try planting, hardscape, and pathway ideas on a photo of the real yard.
- **Client proposals** Give homeowners a visual of the proposed direction before detailed design work.

## Redesign a home exterior from a photo

### What it does

**Input**

One exterior photo (JPEG, PNG, or WebP) plus a description of the redesign

**Output**

PNG of the redesigned exterior

**How it works**

Made sends your photo and the instruction to the Nano Banana 2 edit model on fal.ai and returns a PNG. When that provider is not configured, the edit falls back to Google’s Nano Banana on Replicate.

**Access**

Set up the request on this page. You sign in to run it, and each run is priced in credits before you start.

### Formats and limits

**Input formats**

JPEG, PNG, WebP

**Output format**

PNG

**Images per request**

One exterior photo

**Structural fidelity**

The home’s structure is preserved, but verify rooflines, windows, and proportions on each output

**Scope**

A visual concept for decision-making — not an architectural drawing or contractor specification

## Questions about AI Exterior Design

**Can I see paint or siding options on my actual house?**

Yes — that is the core use. Upload a photo of your house and name the material and color; the render applies it to your real facade. Test one option per generation so comparisons stay clean.

**Will the house’s structure stay accurate?**

The edit keeps the photographed structure — rooflines, windows, massing — and changes the surfaces and surroundings you describe. Verify proportions against the original photo, especially if you asked for additions like a porch, where the model is inventing geometry.

**Can contractors or painters work from these images?**

Treat the output as a direction-setting visual, not a specification. It shows intent convincingly, but exact colors, materials, and dimensions should come from real samples and measured drawings before any work begins.

**Does it handle landscaping too?**

Yes — planting, lawns, paths, fences, and outdoor lighting can all be described and rendered around the house. Combining one facade change with one landscaping change per request keeps results controllable.

**What photo works best?**

Daylight, the whole facade in frame, and minimal obstructions like parked cars — shoot straight-on or from a slight angle. Anything blocking the house in the photo tends to constrain what the redesign can cleanly change.

**Can I preview the house at a different time of day?**

Yes, ask for dusk, golden hour, or overcast light. Evening renders with warm architectural lighting are popular for previewing how a refreshed exterior presents in listing photos.

**Can it visualize an addition, like a porch or second story?**

It can render the concept, and this is where outputs are most speculative — the model invents structure that does not exist. Use these images for early discussion, then validate feasibility with an architect or builder.
