AI Exterior Remodel

Visualize exterior renovations and home makeovers from photos using each::sense — the intelligent AI agent that automatically selects the best model for your request.

Quick Start

Requires an each::labs API key. Get one at eachlabs.ai.

Using curl

curl -X POST https://eachsense-agent.core.eachlabs.run/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "messages": [
      {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
              {"type": "text", "text": "Remodel this house exterior: replace the siding with dark charcoal James Hardie board-and-batten, add a natural cedar accent around the front entry, replace the roof with standing seam metal in matte black, and update the front door to a warm wood pivot door. Keep the house structure, driveway, and surrounding trees. Photorealistic exterior rendering, sunny day."},
              {"type": "image_url", "image_url": {"url": "https://example.com/current-house.jpg"}}
            ]
          }
    ],
    "stream": false
  }'

Using Python (OpenAI SDK)

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    api_key="YOUR_EACHLABS_API_KEY",
    base_url="https://eachsense-agent.core.eachlabs.run/v1"
)

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="eachsense/beta",
    messages=[{
        "role": "user",
        "content": "Remodel this house exterior: replace the siding with dark charcoal James Hardie board-and-batten, add a natural cedar accent around the front entry, replace the roof with standing seam metal in matte black, and update the front door to a warm wood pivot door. Keep the house structure, driveway, and surrounding trees. Photorealistic exterior rendering, sunny day."
    }],
    # Images are included in the message content array above
)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)

With Reference Image

Provide the current property photo plus an inspiration exterior:

curl -X POST https://eachsense-agent.core.eachlabs.run/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "messages": [
      {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
              {"type": "text", "text": "Remodel the house in the first image to match the architectural style and materials of the second image. Apply the same color scheme, siding type, and landscaping approach. Keep the original house footprint and lot. Photorealistic result."},
              {"type": "image_url", "image_url": {"url": "https://example.com/my-house.jpg"}},
              {"type": "image_url", "image_url": {"url": "https://example.com/dream-house-inspiration.jpg"}}
            ]
          }
    ],
    "stream": false
  }'

Images are sent inside messages using the OpenAI multimodal content format. Maximum 4 images per request.

Streaming

Set "stream": true for real-time SSE responses, or "stream": false for complete result in a single response. Streaming is useful for showing progress in UIs; non-streaming is simpler for scripts and automation.

Common Pitfalls

• Changing the house footprint when you only want cosmetic changes — explicitly state "keep the house structure and footprint."
• Unrealistic additions — adding a second story to a slab foundation looks wrong. Stay within structural plausibility.
• Weather/season mismatch — if the photo shows snow, specify whether the render should also show winter or a different season.
• Ignoring neighboring context — extreme style changes that clash with the surrounding neighborhood look out of place.
• Vague color descriptions — use specific paint names or hex colors when possible for accurate results.
