Turn your first house into a minimalist keepsake illustration
Send one photo of your actual house. Sema checks the photo is usable, agrees the occasion and shape with you, and draws one clean minimalist keepsake illustration of the same home: flat color, simple lines, a framed-card composition.
Sema will tell you what she needs, look at what you send, and show you the price before anything is made.
One minimalist keepsake illustration of this exact house from [your house photo], composed as one square 1:1 keepsake card. Style: sparse searching contours in an open poster field with one clean flat color disc behind or beside the drawing; hold color accents and landmark geometry; no dense hatching and no disc covering key features. Center the house with a generous even margin of open poster field on every side and one thin dark border line parallel inside the frame. Place the one flat color disc behind the upper part of the house as an independent shape that covers no window, door or chimney. The photo is the only authority for the house: keep the same facade seen from the same straight-on angle, the same four windows with their dark green shutters in their same places, the same white front door with its small paned top and two concrete steps, the same long low red brick walls under the same low pitched shingle roof with the one brick chimney left of the ridge, and the same dry golden yard, concrete driveway, fence line and small maple tree. Nothing is added, removed, moved or redesigned: the flat language may simplify shading and texture, never the intrinsic colors, the openings or the geometry, and window and door counts stay exact. The house is the only subject; no people, faces or animals appear. Keep every element of the scene present around it in its relative place, drawn rather than photographed, with no photographic patches. No text, lettering, house numbers or signage, no signature or watermark.

Use sparse searching contours in an open poster field with one clean flat color disc behind or beside the drawing. Hold color accents and landmark geometry. No dense hatching, invented destination text or disc covering key features. Resemblance in broad silhouette and large color areas only: below fingertip scale use only sparse contours and one flat color disc, kept as flat fills, with no photographic detail or blended gradients.
Tool prompt
One minimalist keepsake illustration of the exact house in [your house photo], in [style], composed as one framed keepsake card in [the shape you want, for example square 1:1 for a housewarming]: the house centered with a generous even margin on every side and one simple thin border line inside the frame, like a minimal art print. The photo is the only authority for the building. Preserve the facade layout from the supplied angle, the exact window and door counts and their placement, the roofline and pitch, the visible materials and their intrinsic colors, and every identifying detail such as shutters, porch railings, portico columns, trim, dormers, fences and the chimney. Nothing is invented, moved, added or removed: the flat minimal language may simplify shading and texture, never intrinsic color, openings or geometry. Translate the whole scene into one consistent flat illustrated vocabulary with no photographic patches. Do not apply the style's figure, face or animal language, its close cropping or its background replacement to the house: no people, faces or animals appear, the whole house stays inside the border with margin, and the yard, paths and plantings from the photo stay present in their relative places, drawn rather than photographed. Leave any address number, street name or signage out of the artwork, with no text drawn into the picture and no signature or watermark.

When to use this tool
You have just bought or closed on a house and want a clean minimalist illustration of it: a housewarming gift, a closing gift or a first-home anniversary piece, made from your own photo for visual discovery. This tool changes the drawing style, never the home.
What you get
One AI-drawn minimalist illustration of your house as a framed-card composition: square 1:1 by default, landscape 4:3 or portrait 3:4 by occasion. Facade, openings, roofline, colors and identifying details are guided by your photo; inspect them before use. Digital artwork only: no print or frame is included.
How it works
Upload one clear photo of your house with the whole facade readable.
Choose a catalog minimalist look and tell Sema the occasion and shape.
Confirm the plan and price, then receive your keepsake illustration.
Tips for the best photo
Shoot from the street or yard in ordinary daylight, whole house in frame with margin.
Count the windows and doors in your photo; the illustration should match them exactly.
Questions
Can you change the paint colors or add a porch?
No. The brief keeps the same openings, materials and intrinsic colors, with nothing added or removed. This is a keepsake interpretation, not a measured drawing, listing photo or hand-made original.
Can you draw the address into the artwork?
No. The brief leaves address numbers and street names out of the drawing. If you want an address on your finished card, add it separately after downloading rather than expecting lettering inside the illustration.
Which photos are suitable?
Send one sharp street- or yard-level photo in ordinary daylight with the full facade, roofline, windows and door readable. Sema declines cropped walls or rooflines, cars or trees blocking the facade, tiny distant houses, blur, glare, night shots and several houses without a confirmed subject. Supply a clearer replacement instead of asking it to guess. Choose a catalog minimalist look and say the occasion and shape, or explicitly let Sema choose.
Will the windows and doors stay in place?
The brief preserves the exact window and door counts and placement, facade layout, roofline, visible materials and identifying details such as shutters and porch railings. Inspect the result against your photo before gifting or printing; AI illustration is not a pixel-exact or architectural accuracy guarantee.
What does it cost?
Planning with Sema is free. One square 1:1 keepsake card with one house reference costs 3 credits at the standard quality tier. Another shape or quality can change the price. Sema shows the exact cost for your approval before generation, and another version costs further credits.
Can I download my result?
Yes. You can download the finished digital artwork from your account and arrange any text separately. The default is a square 1:1 card; landscape 4:3 or portrait 3:4 can be agreed for the occasion. No physical print, framing service, vector file or print-ready layout is included.
Can I revise the result?
Ask Sema what to change and approve a new quote before another generation. A revision uses the result as a paid reference and is not a free manual redraw. The same facade-preservation rules apply; it is not a way to redesign the house.
How is my content handled?
Job uploads are deleted after completion, success or failure. Photos attached to Sema are kept while that conversation exists so you can resume it, and released when you detach them or delete the conversation. Private results are stored for your gallery and recovery. Private images and personal uploads are not used to train models; OpenAI processes your prompt and source images to make the result.
One minimalist keepsake illustration of this exact cabin from [your house photo], composed as one square 1:1 keepsake card. Style: sparse searching contours in an open poster field with one clean flat color disc behind or beside the drawing; hold color accents and landmark geometry; no dense hatching and no disc covering key features. Center the cabin with a generous even margin of open poster field on every side and one thin dark border line parallel inside the frame. Make the flat color disc a large poster backdrop centered low directly behind the cabin, big enough that the cabin is drawn over its middle, with only a ring of flat color visible above the roof and at the sides and its lower half disappearing behind the cabin and the grass line. The disc is a printed poster shape, never the sun or moon, never glowing, and never floating alone in the sky, which stays plain open poster field. The photo is the only authority for the cabin: keep the same facade from the same straight-on angle, the same two square windows with dark frames and four-pane grids in their same places, one left and one right of the centered plank front door with its one low flat stone step, the same log walls under the steep gabled dark standing-seam metal roof with one rough stone chimney at the right gable end, and the same dry golden grass, gravel path, birches at the left, tall pines behind the roofline and the distant mountain far behind. Nothing is added, removed, moved or redesigned: the flat language may simplify shading and texture, never the intrinsic colors, the openings or the geometry, and window and door counts stay exact. The cabin is the only subject; no people, faces or animals appear. Keep every element of the scene present around it in its relative place, drawn rather than photographed, with no photographic patches. No text, lettering, house numbers or signage, no signature or watermark.

Loose contour disc poster house keepsake
Use sparse searching contours in an open poster field with one clean flat color disc behind or beside the drawing. Hold color accents and landmark geometry. No dense hatching, invented destination text or disc covering key features.

One minimalist keepsake illustration of this exact house from [your house photo], composed as one square 1:1 keepsake card. Style: flat hand-drawn editorial illustration, every form simplified into a few clean solid color shapes inside slightly wobbly dark ink outlines, with no rendered texture, gradients or photographic detail, just light dry-brush scuffs, even soft light and one flat shadow, on a pale airy ground. Center the house with a generous even margin of pale cream open space on every side and one thin dark ink border line parallel inside the frame. The photo is the only authority for the house: keep the same facade from the same angle, the same four windows in their same places (two small ones high in the front gable, and at porch level one wide window with a transom band of small square lights over one large pane plus one narrower window to its right), the same wood front door left of center with its lantern, the covered porch with tapered columns on stone bases and wooden railings, the wide wooden steps, the deep-eaved roofline with exposed brackets and one stone chimney on the ridge, and the same dark evergreens, ferns, stone path and soft grey light, all flattened into simple mid-value shapes. Small leaf doodles only as accents on the existing plantings. Nothing is added, removed, moved or redesigned: the flat language may simplify shading and texture, never the intrinsic colors, the openings or the geometry, and window and door counts stay exact. The house is the only subject; no people, faces or animals appear. Keep every element of the scene present around it in its relative place, drawn rather than photographed, with no photographic patches. No text, lettering, house numbers or signage, no signature or watermark.

One minimalist keepsake illustration of this exact house from [your house photo], composed as one square 1:1 keepsake card. Style: clean animation-style drawing with slender dark contours, smooth flat color shapes and a few precise cel-shaded planes, in warm, clear middle values with dark even linework and an airy, mostly empty ground. Center the house with a generous even margin of plain cream on every side and one thin dark olive border line parallel inside the frame. The photo is the only authority for the house: keep the same facade from the same straight-on angle, the same five windows in their same places (one wide multi-pane window centered high in the front gable and four tall black-framed windows on the ground floor, two on each side), the same wood front door centered under the small covered entry on its two posts with its little metal porch roof, the same white board-and-batten walls under the dark standing-seam metal gable roof with no chimney, and the same mown lawn, young shade tree at the left, low shrubs, concrete stoop and gravel drive. Translate the colors faithfully into warm ivory, muted terracotta, tan and dark olive linework: white walls read warm ivory, the roof and window frames read dark olive near-black, the door reads muted terracotta tan. Nothing is added, removed, moved or redesigned: the flat language may simplify shading and texture, never the intrinsic colors, the openings or the geometry, and window and door counts stay exact. The house is the only subject; no people, faces or animals appear. Keep every element of the scene present around it in its relative place, drawn rather than photographed, with no photographic patches.

One minimalist keepsake illustration of this exact townhouse from [your house photo], composed as one square 1:1 keepsake card. Style: clean animation-style drawing with slender dark contours, smooth flat color shapes and a few precise cel-shaded planes, in warm, clear middle values with dark even linework and an airy, mostly empty ground. Center the townhouse with a generous even margin of plain cream on every side and one thin dark border line parallel inside the frame. The photo is the only authority for the townhouse: keep the same end-unit townhouse from the same angle, all six windows in their same places (one in each of the two gabled dormers, three tall windows across the upper floor and one tall window right of the door on the ground floor), the same black front door with its pale surround, two lanterns and stone step, the same grey shingled roof with no chimney, the same attached garage with its plain metal garage door on the right with the driveway in front, and the neighboring brick unit just visible at the left edge with its lawn, shrubs and summer trees. Translate the colors faithfully into warm ivory, muted terracotta and dark olive linework: red brick reads muted terracotta, trim reads warm ivory, roof and windows read dark olive. Nothing is added, removed, moved or redesigned: the flat language may simplify shading and texture, never the intrinsic colors, the openings or the geometry, and window and door counts stay exact. The townhouse is the only subject; no people, faces or animals appear.

Bold graphic cartoon house keepsake
Clean animation-style drawing with slender dark contours, smooth flat color shapes and a few precise cel-shaded planes. All colors come from the supplied photo, translated into warm, clear middle values with dark even linework. Soft even light leaves only light shading, and the setting is simplified into an airy, mostly empty ground with generous breathing space.
One minimalist keepsake illustration of this exact house from [your house photo], composed as one square 1:1 keepsake card. Style: mid-century inspired cut-paper and gouache illustration with chunky dark outlines, imperfect painted edges, layered flat shapes, dry-brush scuffs and fine paper grain, in flat cheerful light with small graphic doodles. Center the house with a generous even margin on every side and one thin near-black border line parallel inside the frame. The bold close cropping does not apply: the whole house and yard stay well inside the border, and small doodles stay low in the grass away from the facade. The photo is the only authority for the house: keep the same facade from the same straight-on angle, all nine windows in their same places with their black shutters (five across the upper floor, the leftmost partly behind the red maple foliage, and four across the lower floor flanking the centered black front door), the same small white portico over the door on two plain columns with its three steps, the same grey shingle roof with one brick chimney on each end, and the same red maple, stone walk, shrubs and fallen autumn leaves. Translate the colors faithfully into a flat palette: white clapboard reads cream, shutters, door and roof read near-black and grey-blue, the maple and leaves read coral and mustard, keeping the same color relationships. Nothing is added, removed, moved or redesigned: the flat language may simplify shading and texture, never the intrinsic colors, the openings or the geometry, and window and door counts stay exact. The house is the only subject; no people, faces or animals appear. Keep every element of the scene present around it in its relative place, drawn rather than photographed, with no photographic patches. No text, lettering, house numbers or signage, no signature or watermark.

One minimalist keepsake illustration of this exact building from [your house photo], composed as one square 1:1 keepsake card. Style: mid-century inspired cut-paper and gouache illustration with chunky dark outlines, imperfect painted edges, layered flat shapes, dry-brush scuffs and fine paper grain, in flat cheerful light with small graphic doodles. Center the building with a generous even margin on every side and one thin near-black border line parallel inside the frame. The bold close cropping does not apply: the whole building and its street yard stay well inside the border, and small doodles stay low near the sidewalk away from the facade. The photo is the only authority for the building: keep the same three-story red brick walk-up from the same straight-on angle, all ten tall windows in their same places (three across the second floor and three across the third floor under the low brick parapet, and on the ground floor two tall windows flanking the centered black door with its iron-railed stoop of three concrete steps), the flat gravel roof with no chimney, and the small ginkgo sapling in its square tree pit at the left and the low clipped hedge along the building line. Translate the colors faithfully into a flat palette: red brick reads coral-salmon, trim and parapet read cream, door and window frames read near-black, hedge and sapling read sage green, sky reads dusty blue. Nothing is added, removed, moved or redesigned: the flat language may simplify shading and texture, never the intrinsic colors, the openings or the geometry, and window and door counts stay exact.
