Gendo

What is Gendo?

Gendo is a browser-based architectural visualization platform that transforms how design studios produce and iterate on visual content. By uploading 2D sketches or drawings, users can instantly generate photorealistic renders without specialized hardware, expensive software licenses, or deep technical skills. The platform operates as a shared canvas where teams can explore materials, adjust lighting, transfer styles, and refine images collaboratively — compressing what once took days of CGI work into a matter of minutes. Trusted by studios including Zaha Hadid Architects and David Chipperfield Architects, Gendo is purpose-built for professional architectural workflows with strong data privacy and IP protection built in.

Key Features

• Design to Image

  Upload PNG or JPG sketches or drawings and generate accurate, photorealistic renders that adhere closely to your design intent — complete with materiality, lighting, and detailing.

• Generative Editing

  Use smart segmentation to select and regenerate any part of an image — swap materials, change colors, modify landscaping, or adjust structural elements without asset libraries or licensing constraints.

• Style Transfer

  Convert renders between visual styles — from photorealistic to watercolor, sketch, or diagram — while preserving the underlying design geometry and fidelity.

• Text to Image

  Generate new architectural images from written descriptions alone, useful for early-stage concept exploration, mood-setting, and compositional inspiration.

• Collaborative Canvas

  Team accounts enable multiple users to share a communal credit pool and work within a single project workspace — supporting client reviews, internal iteration, and design approvals.

• Privacy & IP Protection

  Paid-plan designs are never used to train AI models. All data is GDPR-compliant, EU-hosted, and commercially licensed — with full output ownership for Studio and Enterprise users.

Use Cases

• Rapid Design Visualization : Architects can turn early-stage sketches into presentation-quality renders within minutes, enabling faster design iteration without involving external visualizers.
• Client Presentations : Studios use Gendo to produce polished visuals for client meetings and planning submissions, bridging the gap between concept drawings and stakeholder-ready imagery.
• Planning & Approvals : Render quality outputs support planning applications and pre-application meetings, helping projects move through approval stages more efficiently.
• Material & Finish Exploration : Designers can test unlimited material combinations, lighting conditions, and surface finishes directly on rendered images without rebuilding scenes.
• Interior Design Workflows : Interior designers generate and iterate on room visualizations — furniture placement, color palettes, and atmosphere — from simple layout drawings.
