Can Midjourney AI Design a House in the Tropics?

we'll start by typing backslash imagine which starts the prompt process for mid-journey's bot The Prompt we're going to use is modern single story house in a tropical forest we're going to add parameters to it by using commas to separate each one starting with steel and glass exterior late afternoon sun super realistic intricate details and Studio lighting I really don't know what all these parameters will come up with but the way that I come up with these is by looking at all the kinds of props that other people are using to create art pieces that I thought were amazing each of these will influence the images that the bot generates because it starts to refine the options that are out there once we press enter mid Journey starts to create four different images based on the prompt it takes about 30 seconds to get from the blurry image to really clear ones here's the first set of images from far away each of these look like a high quality architecture rendering that you would pay a specialty firm to create it has all the lighting Reflections nature and overall composition that makes it looks so nice but when you zoom in you can see that it's not perfect some of the mullions on a glass exterior wall are slanted and they're not all the same size my favorite out of all of these images is the one on the bottom left because it looks the most realistic and it's really minimal in its design it's really sleek and has great proportions and material composition there's a lot of issues that I can see with the rendering when I zoom in but from far away the conceptual images look amazing once I reviewed this set of images I clicked on a button to reroll more options and here's what came out in the second set of images all of the concepts look great again and my favorite is the one on the top right it looks the most modern with a lot of glass steel and horizontal lines I'm going to test four variations of the image on the top right which resulted in this set of four Images these are looking really nice I love the walkway leading to the front patio and the entrance to the house I also like the materials proportions and what I could start to Envision as interior rooms that you could see Through the Windows my favorite one is the bottom left because it has a nice separation from the entrance area that divides the large spaces on the left and the small ones on the right there's also a nice balcony area on the top right now what I think could be really cool is if we can take this image that mid-journey created and develop it into a full architecture walkthrough video I've done this with some of my personal concept architecture projects on my channel so I'm not going to go into every step in detail first I use the software called Revit to develop the 3D model of the building I organized everything in this house by using a structural grid which is how every modern building is designed my grids were spaced 16 feet apart in each Direction and I placed steel columns and beams based on how they're laid out in mid-journey's image for a concept model this usually isn't necessary but I like getting as much detail into my designs as possible it usually helps me see and think through other possibilities that are grounded in reality foreign floor slab for the lower level which looks like it's supposed to be three feet off of the ground I made them the full size of the perimeter columns we'll refine each floor as we designed this model something that I thought was really weird was that the stairs at the entrance that mid-journey created makes it look like the first floor starts at about six feet above grade but proportionally that can't be right it's probably about three feet and that means that each of the steps that mid-journey is creating is like three inches tall which is a problem we're going to design the steps at a height of six inches and have half the number of them now we can draw all the exterior walls to match what the image shows I'm going to guess that the entire house is wrapped in glass but inside there are probably bedrooms and bathrooms somewhere at the center for privacy we're also going to put a railing at the upper corner balcony to make this more realistic so people don't fall off of The Edge we'll make it entirely out of glass so that it disappears foreign now all we need are the interior stairs which I'm assuming will be somewhere in the back of the image from mid-journey maybe it's at the back of the entrance Atrium we'll add a landing at the top of the stairs so that people can get from the bigger spaces to the smaller ones on the opposite side of the house there's a little more to the modeling process than this but I think you get the point of the architecture development process you can see that there's a lot of areas that mid Journey's design wouldn't actually have worked in real life anyway after I finished the model in Revit I use this software called lumion Pro to create the walkthrough video this is the song software that I use for all my architecture renderings it's so easy to import your final model from any design software adjust the landscape so that it has context and apply preset materials that could be adjusted with sliders and other options while placing the palm trees around the scene I match what the rendering was showing and realize that the environment is actually unrealistic there's no way some of these trees are as tall as what the rendering is showing but I did my best to match it by scaling up the size of the trees in the model this entire process from getting the concept images of the tropical modern house in a forest to creating this model took about 20 hours from start to finish all of that work is just a generated design that's a little bit more realistic and to have a walk through video of the entire house here's the original concept image that mid-journey created and here's the walkthrough that I created with Revit and lumion pro This Modern tropical house has four bedrooms five bathrooms and lots of open spaces for Gathering and lounging as soon as you enter the house there's an open two-story Space full of views out to the forest to one side of the entrance there's a quiet lounge space with a corner window system that opens completely to the outside the minimal glass railings keep people safe from falling over the edge of the deck on the other side of the entrance there's a sitting area with comfy lounge chairs and a coffee table where people can come together before heading out there's also a living room at the corner with a sectional couch facing the two-sided fireplace on the other side of the fireplace there's a dining room with a large living room where people can look outside at the forest or talk with someone in the kitchen the kitchen has a large island for people to sit and chat while someone is preparing food it's designed as a galley style where you can walk between the island and stove area all the way through and into the living room from the bridge upstairs there's a beautiful view through the two-story space and into the forest the second floor has Lounge spaces bedrooms and an open patio in terms of using AI for Designing architecture I can see myself using it for my design process for some inspiration to come up with the initial ideas and then constantly refine it until it actually makes sense to build that building it's not at a point where you can use it to design an entire project but it's great for coming up with quick ideas that might help you see other possibilities and opportunities that you might not have considered in your original design if you enjoyed this project check out my other architecture videos and consider subscribing I'll see you again next week [Music]
