Style prompt

A crisp retro-futurist visual treatment emphasizes oversized sweeping curves and pointed fins above a low horizontal base. Turquoise and pale aqua occupy the main smooth surfaces, outlined by narrow warm-cream rims against a medium-blue, softly clouded field. Tall dark reflective inserts provide contrast, while rounded supports and layered overhangs cast gentle shadow beneath the large bright shapes. The foreground is broad, flat, and comparatively empty, allowing the upward silhouettes to dominate. Edges are clean and aerodynamic, with a few triangular voids between curved planes. Daylight is clear but softened by clouds, producing restrained reflections rather than harsh glare. Small scale cues at the bottom keep the soaring geometry legible. The rhythm alternates long rising arcs, narrow dark verticals, and quiet horizontal intervals.

Full example prompt

A square daylight architectural photograph shows a low roadside building with enormous turquoise shell-like roof forms. The tallest curved panel rises from the left side to a rounded point above the roofline, its cream-colored rim tracing a clean arc against a cloudy blue sky. A tall dark glass opening sits within this panel, outlined by a narrower curved border. To the right, two more teal fins sweep upward and outward, forming a layered V-shaped silhouette that resembles wings. Beneath the roof, a broad projecting white canopy curves over the entrance and connects to rounded support columns. Glass doors and windows occupy the recessed ground floor, with warm wood tones visible inside. A few small people stand near the steps, giving the oversized roof its scale. The base of the building is pale aqua, with low horizontal steps and a broad paved forecourt stretching across the lower half. A small vehicle is parked near the far right edge. The sky is mid-blue with soft gray-white clouds, and late daylight puts gentle shadows under the canopies and inside the glass. Surfaces are smooth, painted, and slightly reflective; the tall glazing mirrors the sky in dark blue-gray. The composition is viewed from a low front angle, making the arcs soar above the simple base. Repeated curves, triangular gaps, and turquoise color areas give the building a buoyant midcentury futuristic character, while the empty asphalt foreground keeps the visual focus on its silhouette.
