Describe it in a sentence. The agent takes it from there. Start designing: [open the Arkio web app](https://app.arkio.is/?prompt=A%20garden%20studio%20with%20a%20green%20roof) and describe your idea, for example “A garden studio with a green roof”. The design agent uses AI credits. More ideas to try: A 3-bedroom family house; Open up my kitchen; A primary school for 300 pupils; Massing for a mixed-use block. AI credits required · Runs in your browser · No 3D skills needed ![A finished design in colour among grey neighbours](https://www.arkio.is/_astro/film_4.D103mK7s.svg) --- Arkio: Arkio turns sketches, words and floor plans into editable 3D designs in minutes, with an AI agent that models alongside you, so people can explore options together and make better design decisions, faster.
