LotUpside Home Design (text only)
A lighter connector for planning in chat: a written design direction for any room, the front of your house or your yard (colors, materials, furniture, lighting, planting), a link to see it on your own photo here, a backyard ADU with an estimated build cost and rent for your ZIP, and the California lot check. It makes no pictures in the chat. Connector URL:

Every figure is an estimate; a licensed designer and the city confirm what can be built.

Questions
Will it keep my fence and trees?
Yes. The tool keeps the house, fences and large trees, and changes the ground, planting, furniture and lighting.
Can I see an ADU in my backyard?
Pick ADU in the backyard as the goal for a picture, then design the unit in the free 3D ADU designer and check your lot.
What happens to my photo?
We remove the location and camera data from your photo before storing it. Your photo and its redesigns open only from your private link, and both are deleted after 30 days. The photo is sent to an AI image model to make the redesign.
Is this a construction plan?
No. Every redesign is a concept picture made by an AI image model: Conceptual visualization - not a construction plan. Use it to choose a direction, then have a licensed professional design the real thing.
Who designs and builds it?
Licensed partner designers and builders design and build; we manage the project. For a backyard ADU, start with the free lot check or ask for a free build consult.
What does it cost?
Trying it is free: 2 redesigns a day, 1 watermarked version each. 1 credit makes 4 HD versions without the watermark. A Design Pack is 25 credits for $19, paid once, with no subscription.
What photos work best?
A bright, level photo of the whole room, the front of the house or the yard, taken from a corner or the street. Photos without people work best.
