01/render-prompt

Render Prompt

Turn a loose idea into a structured prompt for any AI render engine. Handles style, materials, lighting, camera angle, and mood. Says "board-formed concrete with vertical grain" not "concrete."

02/design-brief

Design Brief

Formalise design intent from a client conversation, loose notes, or a set of references. Outputs programme, spatial requirements, material direction, and open questions.

03/material-palette

Material Palette

Suggest a cohesive material and finish palette for a design concept. Considers spatial context, lighting, budget tier, and the logic of how 3-5 materials work together.

04/concept-narrative

Concept Narrative

Write the design rationale for a presentation. Frames spatial decisions in terms clients and juries understand: atmosphere, experience, intention.

05/space-feel

Space Feel

Describe the experiential qualities of a space. Compression and release, prospect and refuge, threshold, enfilade. The phenomenological layer that separates architecture from building.
