The human side of AI design.

AI can open a visual conversation. Thoughtful decisions still belong to people.

Use images to ask better questions

A generated room can reveal an unexpected combination of materials or a new atmosphere. Treat it as a discussion tool. Ask what the image suggests, what works for the occupants, and what would need to change.

Recognise the gaps

An attractive image is not a measured drawing. Generated concepts can imply impossible joins, misleading dimensions or unavailable products. Review them critically and separate the desired effect from the method of making it.

Protect the personal context

Keep sensitive information out of an exploratory brief. Describe the room and its needs without including security details, identification documents or private access information.

Keep intention at the centre

The goal is not to collect the largest number of options. It is to reach a clear direction that fits the way you want to live or work. Choose a few references, write down your reasoning, and bring qualified people into the process.
