AI-powered architectural visualization built on Google Vertex AI.
NamO Academy Studio is a web-based tool that helps architects, students, and small studios turn early ideas into architectural visuals in minutes. It connects an infinite design canvas with Google Vertex AI (Imagen / Gemini) so you can upload or sketch a concept, iterate quickly, and export results for reviews or presentations.
What you can use the product for
Generate exterior and interior concepts from sketches, photos, or simple prompts.
Explore different materials, lighting conditions, and architectural styles without re-rendering from scratch.
Create moodboards and visual studies for studio projects, client pitches, or classroom critiques.
Refine existing renders with in-place edits (inpainting / outpainting) directly on a canvas-style board.
Export images for presentations, pin-ups, and learning documentation.
How it works in practice
Start from a blank canvas, a reference image, or a quick massing sketch. Organize versions, notes, and studies spatially instead of linearly.
Send prompts and images to Google Vertex AI to generate, remix, or upscale architectural views with controllable attributes.
Compare before/after results, keep multiple options on the board, and export images ready for studio reviews or client decks.
