sure... had to wait to do it from home but this is the look.
not the best pictures as it was a bit bright and on the phone during the build.
tile strip without shower screen in
just after shower screen in place (10mm thick glass)
up close of design
sink during build
up close
cant fault the resin after 3 years to be honest.
That looks amazing, What kind of mould did you make to cast the sink in? not the best pictures as it was a bit bright and on the phone during the build.

I didnt need to, I found an Italian company that would sell to me direct for circa 450 Euros for the basin and the tiles.
Now I can see that everyone has started producing them, but back then it took me 4 weeks to track down the company and persuade them to sell to me direct as they are trade only.

A piece of charcoal door. I am a bit frustrated with Neff as the combination doesn't exactly work, the two stacks do not quite line up, but also because the microwave door as it opens extends further downwards, as does the steam oven to a lesser extent. This means you need to leave a gap beneath them. The oven with the slide and hide door is a far neater solution.

The oven stacks can be made to line up with the addition of a small steel filler for the compact oven stack. The Oven will stack directly onto the deep warming drawer, then under construction shelf add a steel filler. The steam needs to be on the top if not already so, the construction shelf between them should allow it to open. Then add a furniture filler to bridge the gap to the doors.

We have used a couple of small fillers in places. We tried the oven on top of the warming drawer but I think it will look better if it is lined at the top and a darker filler used in the middle. Why should the steam over go at the top? We figured the microwave will be used more therefore it is better to have it at eye level.

The Neff steam oven won't have a steam suppression so when you open it you'll get a plume of steam. This will then hit the microwave, over time you'll run the risk of blowing the microwave. In the installation and in the tech specs it says it is not to fit below and if the micro dies good luck with getting it fixed as they'll site the steam oven's incorrect installation as the reason.

One of the wide Neff flex induction ones, I can't remember the model off the top of my head.
Before the worktop goes in unless it's mega chunky remove the carcass under the hob area right down to the drawer box. Those should really have a blank under them for ventilation but a super scallop should be ok. Muncher said:
The worktop will be 50mm, there is 18mm of ply under it too, so it will have 68mm for free circulation space beneath it, less the depth of the bits behind the glass. We will chop away as much as we can before it goes in.
The hob will probably be a good 60mm, check your model but most need about 65mm under them. Just be mindful in what you put the the drawer below, you don't want to spark up 7 to 11kW on a up turned metal fish slice.
