Well, you don't need a tutorial specfically on that. What you need it to understand the modeling tools..then you can make anything including but not limited to a house, then learn how texturing works, how to make texrtures...then , as with modeling, you can texture anything. Learn how lighting works, light some still life models.
Then, learn how to use mental ray for maya because a lot of conceptual Achitecture renderings use GI and HDRI style setups.
Learning those things will put you to where you need to be to tackel a task like 3d achitecture. A specific tutorial will do you no good except if you ever had a client ask you to do that tutorial.

I think this would be the closest related question to what I'm about to ask, I'm working on a demo reel (fresh out of school now) and I'm having problems with a room, My floor texture is fine, its checkered wood and looks really nice after raytracing and reflections but I'm worried about where the floor touches the wall, it just doesnt look natural. Is there a way to improve it so it doesnt look like the texture from the floor just completely cuts off the wall? or a way to blend them in together? If you have a link to a tutorial or any info that could help would be very appreciated.

do you not have a little border? model a border onto it like in most houses. If you do have a border and you think it still looks unrealistic, then you can roughen up/dirty the textures at the edges where they meet (as dust and dirt usually collects in corners) or you can alter the geometry to look imperfect blah blah

yeah I was checking images on google of "3d rooms" and I noticed most rooms sort of have a gradient and the textures were darker in the corner, the border was also just a texture But I'm turning that into actual geometry now, Thanks for the help!

use occlusion shader
