The proposed method leverages the Stable Diffusion model, a deep learning framework specifically designed for text-to-image generation. By integrating image processing algorithms into the workflow, the model gains a better understanding of the input sketches, resulting in visually coherent and meaningful output images. The study explores the application of the Stable Diffusion model in the context of architectural design, showcasing its potential to enhance the visualization process and support designers in generating accurate and compelling representations. The efficacy of the method is evaluated through qualitative assessment, demonstrating its effectiveness in bridging the gap between initial sketches and photorealistic renderings. This research contributes to the growing body of knowledge on the integration of machine learning and image processing in architecture, providing insights and practical implications for architects, design professionals and researchers in the field.  \nKeywords: Architectural visualization, sketch-to-image transformation, machine learning, image processing, stable diffusion model.  \n1. INTRODUCTION  \nThe field of architecture is characterized by constant evolution and transformation, driven by the inherent complexity and originality of the design process [1] . Recent advancementsin technology, particularly in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), have opened up new possibilities in architecture, revolutionizing design processes and equipping designers with intelligent and efficient tools to achieve innovative and impactful outcomes [2, 3] . Recent digital approaches play a pivotal role in shaping  \ncontemporary architectural design and inspiring alternative solutions by encompassing transformative principles and philosophies [4] .  \nThis article aims to introduce a machine learning-based method called Stable Diffusion, which was introduced in 2022 as a deep learning framework for text-to-image generation. While its primary application is generating detailed images based on textual descriptions, it also holds potential for other tasks such as modifying or expanding the content of an image [5] . Notably, our approach incorporates image processing  \n* Corresponding author: [ilker.karadag@cbu.edu.tr](ilker.karadag@cbu.edu.tr) (İ.
