Architectural sketches live or die on accuracy — an extra window, a missing floor, or a warped roofline is immediately obvious to anyone who knows the building. Most AI image generators asked for an "architectural sketch of [building]" will invent a plausible-looking structure rather than reproduce the real one, because they're working from a text description, not the actual photo.
Snap2Poster's architectural-sketch style starts from your photo instead, and the model is specifically constrained to preserve the real structure — window count, roofline, proportions — while rendering it as precise ink linework. It's the style we bench-test hardest for building fidelity, which is also why it's the recommended style for house portraits (see our house portrait generator for that specific use case).
Works on landmarks, modern buildings, historic architecture, or street-level facades — anything with structure to preserve.

Questions people actually ask
That's specifically what this style is tuned for — the model preserves your photo's real structure rather than inventing a plausible-looking building, which is the main way it differs from prompting a general AI image tool.
Both — the style renders whatever structure is in your photo, historic or modern, residential or commercial.
