Creating Rachian Architecture

Here the prompt to create this, using the photos below as inspiration:

Create a grand living room that’s 100 foot tall, with many tiers and seating areas. with light streaming through skylights. popular with plants and use the interior photos for inspiration. huge tall windows look out onto the crashing waves of the ocean. The pictured woman is seated in the room.

But it wasn’t sunny enough so, I asked Perplexity to rewrite the prompt:

Create a grand, sun‑drenched living room that is around 100 feet tall, with many tiers and seating areas cascading down toward the center. Harsh, bright midday sunlight pours through large skylights above, casting strong beams and long, well‑defined shadows across the floors, steps, and furniture. The space is lush with plants, especially large tropical varieties, thriving in the intense sunlight, and the layout and style feel like a modern, sculptural interior photograph. Huge, tall windows look out onto crashing ocean waves, with glittering reflections of the sun on the water. A woman is seated comfortably in the living room, partially lit by the sunlight, relaxing and observing the space. Overall lighting: bright, warm golden sunlight, high contrast, crisp highlights and deep but natural shadows, soft haze in the sunbeams, slight lens flare, sun‑kissed atmosphere, no artificial lights turned on, no gloomy or overcast mood.

Yielded this:

Yeah, definitely, not bright enough for me. So I asked perplexity to make it a stark white, bright sun:

Create a grand living room that’s around 100 feet tall, with many tiers and seating areas. The room is flooded with stark white, very bright daylight, like clear midday sun. Hard white sunlight pours through the skylights, creating crisp, high‑contrast shadows with no warm golden tint. The plants and seating areas are lit by this pure white light, with bright white highlights and deep, clean shadows, almost high‑key. Huge tall windows look out onto crashing ocean waves, also lit by harsh white daylight with bright white reflections on the water. A woman is seated in the room, clearly visible, her face and body lit by stark white sunlight from above and the windows. Lighting: neutral 5600–6500K daylight, very bright, high contrast, strong white highlights, no warm color grading, no golden hour, no moody or dim lighting.

Now that’s brighter. Overall, I’m pretty pleased at this point. The sun is actually a bit too white now. The crashing waves seem a little too close. This is a 4K image.
