Prompt to Chatgpt:
I want you to refine the prompt below so that copilot can create a view of a residential tower: I want you to render a residential tower. The tower has 5 podium levels of parking, 1 level of fully glazed clubhouse level and 26 levels of residential units above. The footprint of the building is like a rectangle of dimension 100m by 80m. The floor to floor height of the is 3.3m. The total height of the building is 106m. The podium paking levels should have partial glass and openings with interesting patterns. The clubhouse level should be fully glazed and should act as a break between residential floors and the podium floors. The residential units should have partial curtain wall, partial jaisalmer stone cladding, balconies need to be arranged interestingly. The building should have plants sparingly to create interest. The ambience of the view should be dusk with lights in some of the residential units turned on. If you need any other info to create the view, please ask one by one.
Prompt given by Chatgpt:
This is already a strong prompt. However, it reads more like an architectural specification than a prompt for an image generation model. Firefly (and Gemini) generally produce better results when the prompt is prioritized, descriptive, and less constrained by numbers. The most important visual features should appear first, while technical details should support the description.
Here's how I would rewrite it:
Create a photorealistic architectural visualization of an iconic 110-metre luxury residential tower in a refined tropical-modern architectural style. The design should be elegant, timeless, and premium, comparable to award-winning residential towers by WOHA, Kerry Hill Architects, DP Architects, and SCDA. The architecture should emphasize clean geometry, refined proportions, rich materiality, and sophisticated façade articulation rather than futuristic forms.
Overall Composition
The tower should be expressed as three clearly identifiable architectural zones:
Five-level luxury parking podium
One double-height, fully glazed clubhouse sky lobby
Twenty-six residential levels above
The total height is approximately 110 metres. The residential floor-to-floor height is 3.3 metres, while the clubhouse is 6.6 metres high, creating a dramatic architectural transition between the podium and tower.
The building has a broad rectangular footprint of approximately 100 × 80 metres, giving it a confident, elegant presence.
Podium
Design the podium as a luxury architectural feature rather than a parking garage.
Include:
Sculptural perforated façade screens
Large geometric openings with varied patterns
Deep reveals creating dramatic shadows
Partial glazing revealing glimpses of parking behind elegant screening
Integrated warm architectural lighting
Bronze-toned metal fins and textured panels
A premium residential arrival experience
The podium should appear solid, sophisticated and beautifully crafted.
Clubhouse Sky Lobby
Create a striking double-height glazed clubhouse that acts as a luminous architectural break between the podium and residential tower.
Features include:
Floor-to-ceiling curtain wall glazing
Warm interior lighting
Visible luxury amenities
Floating lantern appearance
Transparent and elegant expression
Strong horizontal emphasis
This level should become the visual highlight of the building.
Residential Tower
The residential tower should feel luxurious, calm and highly livable.
Primary materials include:
Warm golden Jaisalmer sandstone cladding
High-performance low-E curtain wall glazing
Champagne bronze aluminium framing
Dark metallic architectural accents
The façade should use alternating stone and glass surfaces to create warmth and refinement.
Balconies
Avoid repetitive stacked balconies.
Instead create:
Staggered balcony compositions
Alternating projections and recesses
Deep shadows
Elegant rhythm
Strong façade depth
Carefully balanced asymmetry
The façade should feel dynamic without appearing chaotic.
Landscaping
Use restrained tropical landscaping.
Include only:
Selected balcony planters
Podium-level planting
Small rooftop gardens
Elegant entrance landscape
Avoid a "vertical forest" appearance.
Architecture should remain the dominant visual element.
Lighting
Time of day: Blue-hour dusk
Create a warm, luxurious atmosphere with:
Approximately one-third of apartments illuminated
Brightly glowing clubhouse
Warm façade lighting integrated into the podium
Soft reflections on glass
Warm street lighting
Rich contrast between interior and exterior lighting
The building should feel inhabited, welcoming and exclusive.
Camera
Dramatic three-quarter corner view
Camera approximately 25 metres above ground
Entire building visible
Slight upward perspective
Two façades clearly visible
Strong composition suitable for the cover of an international architecture magazine
Context
Place the tower within a premium urban residential district.
Include:
Wide tree-lined boulevard
Luxury drop-off court
High-quality paving
Contemporary street lighting
A few luxury cars
Small groups of residents
Clean public realm
Keep surrounding buildings low and understated so the tower remains the focal point.
Rendering Style
Ultra-photorealistic architectural visualization
International architectural competition quality
Luxury real-estate marketing image
Physically based rendering (PBR)
Natural colours
Accurate materials
Crisp detailing
Cinematic lighting
Realistic reflections
Soft atmospheric depth
8K quality
Highly refined architectural photography aesthetic
