AI built for architects, for every stage of design.

From first sketch to final presentation—turn ideas, sketches, and live 3D models into stunning renders without ever leaving your design workflow.

How it works

Start anywhere

Start anywhere

Drop in a sketch, upload an image, or pull a view from a live 3D model. No exporting, no importing—your starting point is already here.

Purpose-built for architects

Built for buildings

General-purpose AI tools guess at architecture. Motif's rendering engine is specifically optimized for architectural visualization so your renders are presentation-ready from the start.

Render where you design

No exporting to a separate tool, no importing results back, no broken feedback loops. Your models, images, and renders all live in the same space.

A living canvas, not snapshots

Take views of live 3D models and render them in the same workspace. Lay out multiple variations on an infinite canvas—compare, iterate, and refine without switching tools.

Collaborate in the open

Motif isn't a private chat window. It's a shared workspace where teammates can see each other's renders, trace creative decisions, and build on one another's work.

Trusted By

Proven in practice.

Motif is working to solve some near-term problems for us in terms of how we work and the efficiencies within our industry, but also opening up new ideas and new opportunities for how we might explore design in the future.

Shane Burger

Chief Design Technology Officer, Skidmore, Owings & Merrill

Motif came to us asking questions, not bringing solutions – which piqued our interest. That’s someone we can partner with. They’re very focused on the design process. Not trying to change it, but bringing technology to it.

Principal, Director of Digital Practice at Perkins&Will

Talking with a group that just wants to help and understand what we’re doing – it’s been a breath of fresh air.

FAQs

Will my designs be used to train AI models?

No. Every model provider we work with has contractually agreed not to use your work to train their models. Your intellectual property stays yours.

Do I need a fully built 3D model to render?

No. Start from a hand sketch, an image, or a rough massing model. Motif works at the concept stage, not just at the end.

How many AI credits do I get during the trial?

You get 30 AI credits during your trial. To learn more about credits, check out this help doc.

What does it cost after the trial?

$25/user/month. AI rendering is included alongside sheet review, 3D design review, and visual exploration.
