We work as architects on kitchens that get genuinely built. So you can picture those kitchens before the first front is mounted, we use a mix of real project photos, architectural visualisations, and occasionally images edited with AI.
Because we take transparency seriously, we want to briefly explain what you are seeing here — and what you are not.
Real project photos of kitchens we have built are not AI images. They show what is actually standing in our clients' homes. We edit those images, if at all, only lightly — brightness, colour, framing — as is standard in architectural photography.
In some places we use the AI tool Google Gemini. That happens in three situations:
Sometimes we don't change a photo's content at all — we only correct light, colour, image noise or reflections. What used to take an hour in Photoshop is one click in Gemini. The image still shows the same room, the same materials, the same appliances — just cleaner.
Important: even in these cases — i.e. when we have only enhanced a real photo — the Gemini logo stays visible as a small watermark in the image. We deliberately do not remove it.
Before a kitchen is built, there is no photo of it. For our advisory and explanatory content we therefore sometimes create fully AI-generated scenes that illustrate a concept — for example what a flush-mounted custom build looks like compared to an industrial-module kitchen. These images do not show a specific client project; they show an idea.
In a few cases we combine real ArchiCAD models from current planning work with AI rendering, to give you a realistic early impression of your own planned kitchen. Such images are clearly communicated as visualisations during the initial consultation.
Images created or even just colour-enhanced with Google Gemini carry two visible markings:
This double labelling is part of our transparency stance and matches the requirements of the EU AI Act for the labelling of synthetic media.
AI image tools are impressive, but not perfect. Occasionally Gemini invents a detail that doesn't actually exist that way — an extra drawer, a misdrawn power outlet, a tap in a form that simply isn't made. We check every image we use, but small things can slip past us.
If you spot something on an image that looks technically or structurally impossible, drop us a quick note via our contact form — we will correct or replace the image.
We do not use AI to replace the hands of our cabinet-makers, to invent materials we cannot deliver, or to visualise promises we would not keep. An architect's kitchen remains a piece of craft — and what you ultimately have in your home is, without exception, real.
