Styles reference
Two separate controls shape how a render looks. Architectural style governs the building's design language; render style governs the medium it is drawn in. They stack.
Architectural style
Sets the design language of the building itself — massing, proportion, detailing and material vocabulary. Leave it on None to let your prompt and the uploaded geometry decide. Many of these have a full write-up in the architectural styles guide.

Render style
Sets the medium. Photorealistic is the right choice for client work and planning submissions. The drawn and painted options are useful earlier on, when showing a concept as a finished photo would imply more certainty than you have.

Combining the two
Pairing an architectural style with a render style is the strongest combination — for example Brutalism plus Photorealistic for a planning image, or Modernist plus Watercolour for an early client conversation. See the prompt library for worked examples.
