Alex, I hope you feel tremendously proud of all the hard work that it took to get you here! Not just the hard work doing this remodel, but all of the other work of learning CAD, tools, etc. that allowed you to take on a project like this. So awesome!
Absolutely gorgeous kitchen. And ofcourse you need a shelf up there. Just do it! :)
Love the recessed edge detail between the oak and Corian. That design element adds depth and thickness to the counter without being too heavy! Well done!

And it's a perfect place for lights
That turned out absolutely incredible! Congratulations on executing your vision so successfully. Must be extremely satisfying.
I don't care much for minimal looks but holy crap, this kitchen is looking AMAZING. It's so refreshing seeing a design this clean versus what you see in the states. Also, I didn't know you could just buy solid surface slabs. Good to know for the future
Love the kitchen. But I'd love if it has a full matching backsplash 16:22. It would look very luxurious!
This is coming along so incredibly. Jealous!
I really enjoy that you are introducing your viewers to different and unique materials. I love the colour scheme of the whole kitchen too!
Congratulations, In addition to being very good you are the most persevering and precise people on youtube
Brilliant work, I'm loving this kitchen. One potential improvement for your vids (especially as the renovation becomes more aesthetic) - I think you should do more 'money shots' at the end of the video to show off the work. Essentially a montage of clips set against music showing off the piece/your workmanship. Can't tell you how satisfying this is for the viewer! We don't get to bask in the kitchen everyday (as you do), so that's a way of making the viewer feel like they're there, enjoying your work

For reference, you give us 3 seconds (16:28 to 16:31) to look at the kitchen plus a parting shot of the corner. I'd love a 15-30 second montage (depending on the complexity of the build) to really take it in. Als, please don't view this as a complaint - I love your videos and workmanship, I just want to see it more!
Man, i've watched all of your videos about the apartment from the time when you uploaded the first one, it kinda evolved with me. I am so happy about how your apartment came out! Even it's not finished i have to give to you (and your girlfiend) my congratulations! That is a dream come true and i can only imagine how happy and proud you are about your apartment! Wish you the best for the future! Greetings from Italy
Wow, that's commitment on that glue up. I wouldn't put a shelf up if you don't need it. Because it's so visible I'd put a huge painting there or something to make it more part of the living space.
I'm glad to see you work with solid surface. I fell in love with the material during my internship at a design company that worked almost exclusively with HI-MACS. They have some serious know-how about the do's and don'ts of the material. For instance, they would never use a chamfered edge to create a right angle. The trick is to cut a groove at the end of one piece that's slightly wider than the width of the sheet. The other piece would then fit in this groove with some extra material that can be trimmed away with a flush cut trim bit after glueing. (I hope that made sense?) They also had a very nice trick to make fillets at the inside of a corner making it very easy to clean.
Your attention to detail is phenomenal! The result is astonishing, as always, well done!
I got the same IKEA eletric stove :) Installing it tomorrow.
Just use a couple of drops of rubbing alcohol (isopropyl alcohol) and the hot glue de-bonds almost immediately. The is no need to hammer off the blocks and chisel down the glue. It comes off as a solid sheet.🙂
4:02 Love the Pikachu band-aid.
The kitchen is lovely and looks luxurious… But the fact that you 2 built it together, that is priceless! That’s memories for a lifetime. Now, I’m kind of sad that when my wife and I built our house, I didn’t make videos. It’s going to be great to look back at what you’ve accomplished!
i used to work in a warehouse picking/packing wood panels and also hi-max panels. I'll give people a tip (should be obvious and known but best saying it over and over) like paint and anyover plastic you need to ensure the batch code is the same, it should be on the edge of the hi-max panel DONT MIX BATCH NUMBERS unless it cant be helped, always try lay them next to each other (sheet of carboard between lays to reduce scratching) dont think the glues have batch ids though so may slightly differ in colour from "stick" to "stick" and very slightly from teh panel.

Yep! Same goes on tiles too 👍
The Corian countertops look fantastic. Much easier DIY than real stone
The whole place is coming along fantastically. I love that you don't always have 100% of the skills necessary for the tasks at hand, but you're willing to learn and try.
Alex use the off cuts from your worktop as chopping boards. 13:18 Makes use of the leftovers and saves you having to refinish/sand your tops too often. As a bonus it’ll show you how tough the work surface is. Great work
Amazing work, white countertops is a good idea!
Incredible work!! Its sooo awesome to see how far along and how well put together everything is! I remember what a huge victory the bathroom was, getting to see the kitchen nearly complete is amazing! Cant wait to see what stools/chairs ya'll go with for the counter!
Alex my friend, you are absolutely amazing. I’ve been following you for sometime now. This has got to be the best work I’ve seen you do brilliant job mate brilliant job
It’s looking awesome and I think that has a lot to do with your work it’s always on point and your attention to detail is spot on. Thanks for sharing this kitchen build it’s been very entertaining
Absolutely beautiful.
This is becoming a nice apartment. Love that beautiful kitchen. A nice thing about the solid surface material is that you can also heat-form it. Just heat up a piece in the oven and bend it in shape on a wooden form. That's a nice project to try on some offcuts you should still have 😄
Absolutely beautiful. Your hard work is paying off. Mazel Tov!
That is some next level stuff. Crazy impressive. Now enjoy using it!
Wow! The attention to detail you have put in is amazing. So so cool and inspiring
oh mannn this kitchen is just pure art!! I'm completely in love with it!
This looks amazing! Excellent execution
Absolutely stunning!!! Love this story....!
Kitchen looks fantastic!
so clean ! great job
congratulations, its looking amazing!
Thank you for another great video.
what an amazing kitchen! piece of art!
Beautiful job.
That came out awesome
Modern tools, timeless craftsmanship. Great stuff Alex.
Loving every bit of this project!
It looks super nice! Great job 👍
Wow, actually insane how great it all looks.
That shadow line is gorgeous!!
I was thinking about how your kitchen is coming along today!
Looks great .
Very interesting video. And this kitchen island is SOOOO beautiful 😍 Thanks for the sharing Alex!
That is just a beautiful fit and finish, to be enjoyed got many years to come
Super nice and clean! 🤩
You've done a great job there!!
Excellent job and great video, as always! Love these pre tests with unknown material.. This gives an idea to always test unknown materials before full assembly.. 👍 Kitchen now looks awesome!
The kitchen looks awesome!!! Great job guys!
Impressive! Congrats guys!
Seriously talented!
Top notch work.
Great Project Alexandre! Been following this for quite a while now and the results are stunning. Keep doing what you're doing!
Wow, this kitchen turned out great. Congrats, Alex. That's a master piece.
That looks really great - I hope you've been able to make something either useful or fun from the sink & cooker cutouts as well!
Looks amazing!!! Such an inspiration 😍😍😍😍😍
Really looks great. At long last, it's all finally coming together!
You built the whole kitchen without your CNC??? You cray-cray!
You should do cooking videos from your new kitchen 😁😁
I can listen to you say “together” all day long. ToGEDDer.
For that big back wall, maybe have some kind of cleat system, so you could move around shelves?
Beautiful kitchen! Keep up the amazing work!
Apartment is looking fantastic! Quite a change from day one.
Beautiful
It looks great!🎉❤
Looks amazing! Seems a bit weird that the stove is on the island rather than the back bench but i’m sure there’s a reasonable explanation! I like the rounded section of the bench near the window, its an odd section and its not obvious how to finish it but i think you’ve nailed it!
Amazing video, I've enjoyed living vicariously through your renovation and I must say you do some fantastic work, I only wish that I could have apprenticed with you!
very nice looking, after renovating two houses I've come to love a full backlash of the same material of the countertop. If you have enough of the slab to do it i would suggest it it. easy to clean and soooo good looking.
Your kitchen look absolutely stunning and I love it! 👍👌
I didn't know what to expect, but the kitchen looks already absolutely amazing.
Love the videos. Especially love the Gaggia Classic Pro!
Looks great! Very impressive!!!
It's case to say that your kitchen is *chef's kiss*
What about a shelf that slides into the wall? It doesn't make much sense, but it would be pretty cool looking. :P
Fantastic!
Maybe a brass pot rack and some hooks to hang some of your utensil off or a nice big piece of art are other options for that wall.
That looks really good Alexandre! Good luck with the rest of the projects! I’ll be watching!
veery cool, congrats
That over hang is really nice.
I love this material! It looks stunning, clean, and you yourself can cut it and make it into a professional looking top! Love the teamwork of you and your partner, very sweet couple!
That coffee machine 😍
I want this kitchen so bad...
looks great. I would have like to have seen a taller backsplash myself, but it does look good as is!
Nice work
Beautiful, Alexandre! Fantastic work!!! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Super cool stuff as always!
I have the same model of coffee machine :) You motivate me to build my kitchen by myself as a project (even thought I bought a whole cupboards in kitchen studio). It was fun project and I learnt a lot. And yes connecting the diswasher was the most enjoyable moment of whole build :D
My God, that's a nice looking kitchen. Good job, Alexandre!
Very nice! It's been a very long time since I've seen someone work with Corian, really fun material to work with!
Amazing!!!
I'd recommend floating shelves to make the space feel open
I hope your renovation never ends... ;D Fantastic job on the whole project!
Such a good job! I don't know if corian is my preferred material for a countertop, because some other materials have better resistance to heat and cutting, but no doubt it's easier to work with, only using tools for wood. Also, I would choose a white sink instead of a metal one, especially for a sink under the countertop.
holy moly that's nice
