The Story AI Design Studio is a proprietary platform being used exclusively by the Story team to efficiently and accurately capture a client’s unique design preferences before professional designers begin their work. Now, the company is making this innovative technology available to the public free of charge.
“Starting a home renovation is often overwhelming, and it stalls a lot of projects before they’ve even begun. Homeowners have endless inspiration—from Pinterest boards and Instagram to magazine clippings—but struggle to consolidate that into a cohesive, shareable vision,” said Zach Smith, CEO Story Renovations, “The Story AI Design Studio solves this by helping homeowners formulate and articulate their dream space and then share it with their design team via rendered visualization. Crucially, the AI Design Studio is not a replacement for human creativity; it’s a powerful preparation tool. It simply ensures the client’s unique vision is captured and crystal clear before the architect or interior designer draws the first line.”
Empowering the Creative Homeowner
The Studio functions as a crucial step in the design visioning process, allowing homeowners to:
Formulate: Translate vague ideas into concrete, stylistic themes and concepts.
Optioneer: Explore various material combinations, layouts, and aesthetic choices instantly.
Share: Generate a refined, cohesive design rendering that can be easily shared with any professional architect or interior designer, saving time and reducing miscommunication.
Enhancing, Not Replacing, Human Expertise
Story Renovations emphasizes that the AI Design Studio is designed to enhance the efficiency of design professionals, not diminish their expertise.
“We use this tool ourselves because it helps accelerate a collaborative visioning exercise with our clients,” added Sarah Hunter, VP of Architecture. “By receiving project inspiration that has already been refined by the client using our AI tool, our professional team can accelerate the initial high-level visioning back-and-forth and jump straight into applying their expertise, creativity, and technical knowledge to the project.”
The Story AI Design Studio is available now for free public use at storyrenovations.com/design-studio.
