Buen curso para iniciarte en el diseño de cocinas, seria bueno profundizar el conocimiento en las medidas adecuadas y diseño mas aterrizado como en sketchup, no hay un curso de diseño 3d de cocinas.

La verdad es que el curso aunque es muy acotado, abarca todos los aspectos esenciales para poder crear desde cero tu cocina soñada, remodelar una existente o simplemente hacer pequeños arreglos que nos permitan habitar "el lugar mas importante de la casa" con un disfrute acorde a nuestras necesidades.

Good afternoon, the course is quite practical and enjoyable, I enjoyed listening to it. There are a lot of practical tips, which is very important, to see real examples of work. It would be very good if there was an opportunity to listen to the voice acting and subtitles in Ukrainian. May Jesus Christ settle in your hearts and be the head in your home and in your kitchen.

Sofía firmly believes that if we like the space we live in, we are happier, and she loves nothing more than being able to do her bit so that others can achieve this.
