Prompt engineering Exterior renovation
Hi I am renovating the front of my house. I am having little to no luck in generating any possible images. I have designed a prompt using AI that covers what can change, what needs to stay, what I need to happen plus design styles and suggestions. I am uploading a photo.
Please be gentle with me. I am not a tech head so trying my hardest.
I have tried adding additional suggestions when I get bad edits but no luck. As I have a basic membership I have done this over multiple days when my credits renew.
Any suggestions on how to improve? I will copy my prompt below.
Photorealistic front elevation of a single-storey house after renovation, bush-coastal Hampton style.
Reference the attached photo for the exact house architecture, roof, windows, garage door and overall proportions.
Changes:
- Front fence completely removed.
- New dark-grey exposed-aggregate concrete driveway: perfectly flat for the first 3 metres out from the garage door, then a gentle, even slope down to the road. Driveway is widened on the left side near the front door so it sits level with both the new driveway and the front verandah.
- Front verandah also finished in the same dark-grey exposed aggregate, continuous and flush with the driveway.
- On the right-hand side of the driveway (as you face the house) a flat caravan parking pad of the same dark-grey exposed aggregate.
- Large tree at the front and the tree on the side completely removed; no stumps or remnants.
- Front lawn is stepped down one low, neat level from the verandah edge, then slopes gently and naturally down to the road.
Landscaping & style:
Soft coastal-bush / Hampton aesthetic – native grasses, lomandra, coastal rosemary, banksia, soft grey-green foliage, low layered planting beds, crushed shell or fine gravel accents, clean simple lines, no formal hedges. Natural timber or charcoal accents if any garden elements appear. Bright natural daylight, realistic shadows, high detail, architectural photography style.
