How to make modern architecture on a cliff in MidJourney

Some of the most interesting architecture is in odd places. It’s almost a design feat for a modern house to be on the side of a cliff or mountain. Let’s explore how to do that.

Prompt: Modern house on the side of a cliff

Great first start. This is exactly the kind of house I was thinking about. It needs more detail. We’ll also use the 2:1 aspect ratio for more landscape detail.

Prompt: Modern concrete and wood house on the side of a cliff, detailed background, photo realistic –ar 2:1

This is not bad, but I want the house to be up high on a cliff. Let’s also change it to an aerial shot.

Prompt: Modern concrete and wood house on the side of a high cliff, aerial shot detailed background, photo realistic –ar 2:1

This is starting to get where we want to be. Let’s add 32k to the prompt as well as the –quality 5 parameter for a better result.

Prompt: Modern concrete and wood house on the side of a high cliff, aerial shot detailed background, photo realistic, 32k –ar 2:1 –quality 5

I think we’re almost there. We need the camera to be a bit farther away. Let’s add that to the prompt.

Prompt: A far away shot of a modern concrete and wood house on the side of a high cliff, aerial shot detailed background, photo realistic, 32k –ar 2:1 –quality 5

Let’s re-roll this.

I like version 3 of the second re-roll. Let’s make versions of that.

I like version 1 the most. Let’s upscale it and see what we get.

I think this is a very nice result. You can see that this version has water, grass, concrete, and wood all in the same shot. This is great juxtaposition of different elements.
