Tout le monde parle du Gaussian Splatting en ce moment. Zillow l'a déployé sur ses annonces premium depuis juillet 2025 : +91% de partages, +79% de pages vues. C'est réel.

Mais voilà ce que personne ne dit.

Un scan 3D montre la maison telle qu'elle est. Le papier peint du vendeur. La cuisine des années 90. Les meubles qui ne sont pas les vôtres.

70% des acheteurs ne savent pas se projeter à partir de ça.

Ils visitent. Ils repartent. Le bien reste sur le marché.

Le vrai levier de conversion, c'est pas "voir la maison en 3D". C'est se voir vivre dedans.

Ce qui manque à côté du scan, c'est la projection : montrer le bien rafraîchi, rénové, reconfiguré, selon le profil de l'acheteur. En quelques minutes, pas en plusieurs semaines.

Le splat montre l'état actuel. L'IA projette les états possibles.

Les deux ensemble, c'est là que le closing s'accélère.

Curieux de savoir si des agents ici testent déjà ce genre de combo, ou si vous restez sur la visite virtuelle classique.

Bonjour à tous, je cherche à comprendre comment marche la plateforme X est ce que vous avez des conseils ? (Algorithme etc...)

I tracked my hours last month out of curiosity.

160 hours worked. Roughly 35 hours of actual design work.

The rest?

- Quotes and quantity takeoffs

- Technical specs and schedules

- Material research and datasheets

- Site visit reports

- Client follow-ups and supplier emails

- Code compliance checks (accessibility, energy, fire safety...)

At first I thought I was just badly organized.

Then I started talking to other architects and interior designers

around me. Same story, every time.

So I'm genuinely curious:

1. What takes up the most of your time outside of actual design work?

2. Have you found anything that actually helps? (tools, methods,

   outsourcing, anything)

3. Is there one specific task you hate more than the others?

For me it's the quantity takeoffs. Every single time.

Would love to hear if others are in the same boat or if I'm just

doing something wrong.

J'accompagne des professionnels de l'immobilier sur l'intégration de rendus photoréalistes générés par IA. Et j'entends souvent deux camps très tranchés.

Le premier : "c'est de la triche, les acheteurs vont être déçus en visite." Le second : "on a réduit notre délai de vente de 30% depuis qu'on utilise des visuels IA sur les biens à rénover."

Un cas concret que j'ai suivi de près.

Un agent en région parisienne avait un appartement des années 70 à vendre. 58m², pas rénové, photos réelles peu engageantes. Le bien stagnait depuis 6 semaines sur LeBonCoin et SeLoger.

On a produit 4 rendus photoréalistes IA montrant le potentiel du bien après rénovation légère. Même surface, même luminosité réelle, mais avec des matériaux actuels, un agencement optimisé et une ambiance cohérente.

Résultat : le bien a reçu 3 fois plus de demandes de visite en 10 jours. Il a été vendu en 3 semaines.

Le coût de production des visuels : une fraction d'un shooting home staging classique.

Ce qui m'intéresse c'est votre avis sur le fond. Est-ce que vous pensez que ce type de visuel crée de fausses attentes chez les acheteurs, ou au contraire il aide à projeter et à décider plus vite ? Est-ce que certains d'entre vous l'ont déjà testé ou vu utilisé par des confrères ?

Curieux de savoir où en est la profession sur ce sujet.

A few months ago, a client came to me with a tight deadline. Interior redesign of a 90m² apartment in Paris. They needed 6 photorealistic views in 48 hours. With traditional rendering (V-Ray + post-production), that's a full day minimum, just for one view done right.

I ran the full project through an AI rendering pipeline instead.

Here's the honest breakdown:

The brief was a mid-century modern living room. Warm oak, travertine, structured natural light from west-facing windows. The client had reference images but no 3D file. Just sketches and a Pinterest board.

Instead of building a scene from scratch in 3ds Max, I used the references to build a prompt architecture. Camera angle, lighting logic, material behavior, spatial depth, all defined through structured prompting rather than scene setup.

What changed:

First draft visuals were ready in under 15 minutes. The client feedback round dropped from 3 iterations to 1. Final delivery took 9 hours total instead of 2.5 days. The client thought I had a full team working on it.

What didn't go perfectly:

Furniture coherence across views required extra control passes. One shot had a perspective distortion I had to correct manually. And when the client asked to change the sofa, that's still slower in AI than in a parametric 3D scene. No point pretending otherwise.

The real shift isn't speed. It's negotiation power.

When you can show a client 3 different atmosphere options in the time it used to take to show one, you change the conversation entirely. They make faster decisions. Projects close faster. You stop losing jobs to studios with bigger teams.

I've now run this workflow on 12+ projects. The ceiling is prompt precision and knowing when to switch back to traditional tools for fine control.

Happy to answer questions on the technical side if anyone's curious about the workflow.

Hi everyone! 👋

Let's be honest, AI has been the talk of the town for a while now. Between image generators like Midjourney or Stable Diffusion for moodboards, and new features being integrated directly into our BIM or rendering software, it's hard to ignore.

I'm curious to gauge the temperature here. Beyond the tech blogs and the hype, how are you actually experiencing this on the ground, in your firms or your studies?

I'd love to get your feedback on a few specific points:

• Early design / Concept phase: Are any of you already using it daily to generate design intents? Do you find it to be a solid starting point, or does it actually tend to standardize creativity?
• Production and deadlines: Do these tools actually save you time on post-production and renderings, or does it just make clients even more demanding regarding turnaround times?
• Impact on the profession: How do you see our jobs evolving? Is there a real fear for junior/drafter roles, or is this simply a logical evolution of our toolkit (like the transition from the drafting board to CAD)?

Anyway, I'd love to hear about your experiences, whether you're a convinced early adopter or totally resistant to the concept. Do you already have a workflow that integrates AI?

Thanks in advance for sharing your thoughts! 🏛️✨
