Iam thrilled to find an architect like me i feel all architect have this bond even if they don’t see each other i wish i could have an architect fiend whose passionate like you i can only imagen what a plast we will have, keep up the good work my friend
This was a great makeover, I bet it's way nicer to "go to work" when your home office looks like that and anyone you zoom meet with is probably green with envy.
Finally, something original !! Your taste is thoughtful, unique, and beautifully thought-out. Would love to see a living room designed by you in the future!
Coming soon! Guess we'll do some work downstairs. We finished our house build a while back - you can check our whole series. Def more work to do in the living room now tho!
Thank you! I wish more people would breakdown the cost. It gives viewers who are interested in even part of your office a better idea of what it takes to achieve that look and how to best budget renovations and prioritize what might get done first. thank you!
Looks fantastic! I would not have thought of painting those Kallax shelving units! The floating shelves are amazing. And I'm impressed... you have LIVE plants. Most of these videos contain fake plants.
Thanks Tracy. Nothing I love more than real plants. The really warm up the place. Kallax shelves weren't the easiest to paint. They're holding up well but I would recommend a deep scuff and primer before. Thanks for watching.
This just popped back up on my feed. I actually painted my office this color based on your video. Obviously video doesn't always do it justice and lighting is different in every room but mine is more of a green/blue dark teal color but brighter like it has gray in it. Yours almost looks like a dark emerald green. Mine also look horrible on camera. Everyone asks me if I painted my room black and I always look totally washed out. In short I love your room but I wish I had just went with an emerald green.
From the makeover design to the video editing, this is all around some great content. Keep up the good work and your subscriber count will go up in no time. Well done!
Thank you! It's called thalo night from Valspar. We had it color matched by Sherwin Williams because we have an account with them and like the quality of their paint.
Thanks JL! I think that's what actually started me on this whole thing. I had seen a few alcoves with built-ins that I really liked and I wanted to try to emulate that look without necessarily boxing it all out with lumber and new drywall. I find that painting the ceiling helps make it feel like one contained space. I designed the rest after that. Worst case if we sell the house (not that we're planning to) but someone could just unscrew everything and repaint. Thanks for watching.
Hi. I just saw this office build. Great job. I really like how you built the shelves. I also love the colour. You mentioned it was Sherwin-williams but I don't think you mentioned the colour. Are you able to share what the colour name is? Thanks.
What software did you use to 3D plan it? Also, the video was well made! All I would say is to make sure the volume of the music stays with the volume of your voice, sometimes it was too loud.
First time viewer, great work! Can you share some info on the wall art you have in your office - it looks like something made with newspapers or magazine cutouts?
It's part of my girlfriends masters thesis. It's a map of montreal printed on a piece of plywood with a whole bunch of finishing nails to connect string to. Had to do with how we experience cities around us. She will be happy someone asked about it! Thanks
@@lifeluxury3081 Hey! Thank you. This was all filmed on a canon sl2 DSLR. All my wide shots are with a 10-18mm Canon lens. All the closeups were done with the Canon 50mm nifty fifty. There might be a few shots in there with the 18-55mm. All my new vids were shot on the Iphone 12 Pro. There are some pros and cons - it's not as nice as the crispy beautiful look of the 50mm from the DSLR but the wide shots and timelapse modes are awesome. The 4K adds a nice level of crispness to the vids. Also great to not have to carry my camera bag back and forth to construction sites.
Sorry I'm a bit late to respond. Hope it worked out. All I can say is take your time. Sanding and filling is the most boring part but it ends up giving you the best result in the end!
Thank you! I can't remember the stain, sorry! The label had ripped off so no product info. Was purchased here: randalls.ca/ - you can check out the stains they carry.
Hello! Great video. Looks amazing. I somehow missed the name so the paint. I looked in the comments but no luck. Can you tell me what color you used. Thanks
Floors in our house an engineered flooring, a red pine from italy.. they are pretty soft so its expected they will kind of scuff and scratch naturally through the years.
What software was used to design this? I did my kitchen ans office on the ikea free software. But it doesnt do bedrooms which is what im working on now. Any software recommendations would be appreciated.
I use sketchup to do everything in 3D. 3D warehouse has huge library of free sketchup components you can use to populate your scenes. Everything was rendered with VRAY render for sketchup. Good luck.
the dark green is reminds me of victor newman's office on Y&R---- very luxurious looking 🥰 u did a great job! Overall i think i will do a dark wall. Ones that are light just dont look good for an office nook. The dark color anchors the space.
Thank you so much! hah I had to google that I must admit.. he's so much more suave then me tho - fits the office better ;) Good luck with your office. Thanks for watching :)
What is the weight bearing load of the floating shelves? How would you accurately assess the total weight of books you could safely put on those shelves and before it all comes down?
No way to really tell. I could hang my own weight on there with no issues. Probably would be even stronger had I put in side stringers to carry the load. Not planning on putting anything super heavy so it never bothered me.
Hi! No it's not an issue. Once everything was in place, I did a quick patch with mud and painted a few layers over it. This line of paint is really good to blend.
Looks great! I had a question on the "table top" which I believe is the piece the rests on the Ikea shelving. At around 5:10 in your video you mentioned that is it made of pine shelving and select pine for the front facing piece but I think at 9:55 you mention that you used "whitewood." Can you please clarify :)
Yea sorry. It is actually whitewood - I think whitewood is a laminated mix of spruce and pine that's also shelving from home depot. It's all off the shelf stuff, that table top is 16" and the solid pine that depth is much more expensive.

This is hands down THE best, cleanest, sharpest makeover I have ever seen. You did a tremendous job!
Wow, thank you! What a great compliment. I'm happy you enjoyed it!
This was a great makeover, I bet it's way nicer to "go to work" when your home office looks like that and anyone you zoom meet with is probably green with envy.

THIS IS ALCHEMY! Bruh just created a visual appearance of a built in alcove space! Illusion at IT’S finest!
Thanks so much!

I really love the green and the stain. But damn that would have looked amazing with simple white and pine as well. Great design!
Thanks!
Wow! Love the dark green.
Thank you! Cheers!
So nice to see a home without knockdown walls and ceilings!
Thank you! much appreciated.
looks amazing and the costs are totally ok. Other desks alone costs like 700 USD. So you made a great design and smart decisions.
Thanks so much!
I remembered this one 2 years ago. You did an awesome job on this built in. The entire office setup is amazing
Thanks. I appreciate it. New series just out with a new house if you want to check that one out!
@@HugoBuilds Thanks. I’m looking forward to build something similar in the future. Again amazing build.
@@5smoothstonesproject740 appreciate it!

It's only paint! It's like a hair cut. You can always redo it. Thanks for watching!
I like everything about it dude, the design, colour and small decorations at the end. New subscriber.
Awesome, thank you!
From the makeover design to the video editing, this is all around some great content. Keep up the good work and your subscriber count will go up in no time. Well done!
Much appreciated! I can only hope. This video seems to be doing pretty good. Will keep having fun making them nonetheless. Thanks for watching.
colors were spot on!
Thank you.
Gorgeous!
Thank you!
What do you like to use for the 3D Design / modeling ?
Sketchup with VRAY for renders.
No matter the cost, it was DIY and you did the work, and it looks great
Thanks so much!
Fantastic!!! Clean, minimalist, and very cozy office. Congratulations.
Thanks so much! 😊
Great job!
Thanks for the info!
Thanks.
nice job there 👍🏼, love it
Thank you! Cheers!
Man, this makeover was so soothing to watch. Awesome content!
Awesome to hear, thank you!
Perfect!! I’m thinking of doing a combination of your options. PC on the shelf w a desk still for reading, writing ✍️, etc.
Thank you! Glad you like it. Good luck with yours!
I love ❤️ the green color good 👍🏽 job
Thank you! :)
Love it - such a thing of beauty!
Thanks so much!
LOVE the color of that paint.
Thanks!
Luv the office I will be using some of you ideas in my office redo if the supply is back in stock
Thank you! Glad you got some good ideas out of this. Good luck!
Looks awesome
Thanks a lot!
Clearly, you are a penny-pinching individual...you saved money in the DIY...it's your home and the....results = priceless!!!!!
Thank you so much, Leon! Thanks for watching.
Super cool!
Thank you!
That was really cool
This is absolutely beautiful!. I am going to use this design. Thank you for sharing this video.
Thanks for the kind words :)
Amazing video I love it. Can you tell me what the color you use it on the wall the color is very beautiful
Thank you! It's called thalo night from Valspar. We had it color matched by Sherwin Williams because we have an account with them and like the quality of their paint.
Nice work!
How excited you got out of that line.... I feel that bro! Great work! Liked and subbed!
Awesome! Thank you! I appreciate it. haha yea, after all the screwed up lines I've painted in my life - I had to share this one success ;)
I freaking love how you did the cost breakdown! It was really to understand!
Great! Happy to hear. Will try to work that in in more videos! Thanks for watching.
I just love how you are direct to the point!! Love it.
Thanks! Getting to the point is always an issue for me - happy the editing made it look that way ;)
Great Idea this, I'm struggling with my smaller room at the moment, but you've given me some ideas!
Glad it was helpful!
Looks really good. Thanks for sharing all this and for the ideas.
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching!
Wow love it 👍🏾
Thank you very much :)
I can’t find any comments on what color paint you used and brand. Looks like a dark green and so pretty
Please share dets on the paint
I forget off the top of my head but I responded to some comments with the exact color.
Beautiful! Greetings from Perú, the land of the Machu Pichu.
Awesome! Thanks for watching.
Looks great, I really like the colour!
Thanks man!
The paint colour looks great. Please share the paint colour code.
Thanks! Just the tutorial I was looking for.
Awesome.
What stain did you use specifically? The color looks great.
I think it's called Special Walnut. I will double check!
WOW it's so beautiful! I love it
Thank you so much!
Simple yet elegant
Thank you!
Looks so good!!!! What color paint is that? If you said it in the video sorry. You mentioned the brand I know.
Name is slipping my mind but I covered it in other comments a bunch of times. Shouldn't be hard to find. Thank a lot for watching!
Looks great
What color and finish did you use?
Hi Shaun, answer is in the comments somewhere. I believe it's Thalos Night.
Honestly the best looking office I have seen. I actually have a similar open space I’m looking to do the same thing. Thank you for a great video.
Wow, thank you! Go for it. It's just a bit of paint and some shelving! Good luck.
It looks fabulous. Did you always know you were going to extend the color out on the walls and ceiling, or what led you to that decision?
Thanks JL! I think that's what actually started me on this whole thing. I had seen a few alcoves with built-ins that I really liked and I wanted to try to emulate that look without necessarily boxing it all out with lumber and new drywall. I find that painting the ceiling helps make it feel like one contained space. I designed the rest after that. Worst case if we sell the house (not that we're planning to) but someone could just unscrew everything and repaint. Thanks for watching.
@@HugoBuilds , thanks. The addition of color really enhanced things. IKEA has Kallux, and you have Kallux that grew up LOL. :-)
@@JL-hn6hi haha kallax that grew up. I like it! I do agree that I think the colour is what ties it all together.
Dude I honestly didn't realize it was paint. I thought you'd built out a large box to go in the space that turned out absolutely amazing!
Thanks a lot! Appreciate the kind words.
Very nice. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Hi. I just saw this office build. Great job. I really like how you built the shelves. I also love the colour. You mentioned it was Sherwin-williams but I don't think you mentioned the colour. Are you able to share what the colour name is? Thanks.
Oh thank you! I forget the colour off the top of my head but I mention it numerous times in the comments other people had asked.
What an excellent video. Thanks for sharing this.
Thank you!
What software did you use to 3D plan it? Also, the video was well made! All I would say is to make sure the volume of the music stays with the volume of your voice, sometimes it was too loud.
Thank you! Yes audio isn’t my forte. Will take better care next time to make sure it sounds better.
@@HugoBuilds I would like to know the software, too. I always like to map out my projects as well. Are you able to add dimensions and whatnot?
First time viewer, great work! Can you share some info on the wall art you have in your office - it looks like something made with newspapers or magazine cutouts?
It's part of my girlfriends masters thesis. It's a map of montreal printed on a piece of plywood with a whole bunch of finishing nails to connect string to. Had to do with how we experience cities around us. She will be happy someone asked about it! Thanks
Also - Price breakdown was fantastic! So encouraging to me - I need to purchase some hardware but it's within reason for custom
Happy to hear! It's not that difficult, I'm sure you can figure it out! good luck.
Funny that I stumbled on this, I was literally about to paint my office green :D
Do it!
Hello, Congratulations. You did a Great Job. Awesome. Beautiful Office. 👍👊❤️❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️🙌🙌🙌😊
Thank you so much 😀
amazing video. Just thinking about doing my home office and this was an inspiration.
Awesome! Thank you! Go for it. It makes a big difference to my work day working from home.
Hey guys! I tried a new format this time. Always trying to keep it entertaining. Let me know if you enjoyed it and if the cost breakdown was useful!
Love the cost breakdown really helpful for beginners like me! Looks great thanks for sharing
cool showcase! what gear did you use to film ?
@@nathaliabeltran2723 Thanks a lot! Will try to include it in all my videos from now on. :)

@@HugoBuilds hey thanks for a super detailed reply! all the best with future videos!
Great design thanks for sharing…my plan is to build a 10ft shelve this weekend do you have any tips?
Sorry I'm a bit late to respond. Hope it worked out. All I can say is take your time. Sanding and filling is the most boring part but it ends up giving you the best result in the end!
Man that looks G-O-O-D...all thumbs up !!!!
Sweet! Thanks! Happy you like it.
How did you create the top for the two Kallax units?
I might have skipped over it in the video but it was built almost the same as the upper shelves with slightly wider board.
Mind.... blown!! 🤯🤯💖😍
Thank you so much! Happy you enjoyed it!
great makeover
Thank you!
Love it! 😍
Thank you! 😊
This is funny. lol
Really nice. Great job!
Thanks a lot!
What a great office design! Great color choice! I like the floating shelving. A!
Thank you so much! :)
Amazing work ! can you please give the ref of the walnut water-based stain ? thx
Thank you! I can't remember the stain, sorry! The label had ripped off so no product info. Was purchased here: randalls.ca/ - you can check out the stains they carry.
i want this design for my office!!! 🤩🤩
Go for it!
Best design! Thank you 😊
Thank you! Cheers!
Hello! Great video. Looks amazing. I somehow missed the name so the paint. I looked in the comments but no luck. Can you tell me what color you used. Thanks
Called Thalos Night from Valspar I believe.. we actually used Shermin Williams Emerald.
@@HugoBuilds thanks!! Look forward to more of your videos. Cheers!
Love it, my office is the same colour and just needs the finishing touches. Thanks for the idea.
My pleasure! Thanks for watching. Good luck with your office.
Looks fabulous!
thanks! :)
Great stuff ! Keep it up.
Appreciate it! Thanks for watching.
lovely well done video and construction. Welldone and thank you
Glad you enjoyed it Thank yoU!
That looks awesome!
Thank you very much!
Random question, what kind of floors do you have? they look nice
Floors in our house an engineered flooring, a red pine from italy.. they are pretty soft so its expected they will kind of scuff and scratch naturally through the years.
What software was used to design this? I did my kitchen ans office on the ikea free software. But it doesnt do bedrooms which is what im working on now. Any software recommendations would be appreciated.

The sherwin Williams paint color is amazing! Could you please share the name of the color? I may have missed it in the video or comments
Paint colour is Thalo Night and it's from Valspar but we had it matched at Shermin Williams to use their 'Emerald' line of paints.
Absolutely beautiful. 👏👏👏👏
Thank you so much!
@@HugoBuilds you have inspired me on a new design for my own home office. I will be at IKEA this weekend. 😁😁
@@Smilemaker4u wow! Super happy to hear that. Good luck! :)
Not sure if you mentioned it in the video, but what color is the wall paint and which color stain? I’m looking to redo my office and your design is 👌🏻
Called Thalos Night from Valspar I believe.. we actually used Shermin Williams Emerald.
Planning to do an alcove using the same way as well! Zero experience, what was the laser tool to make sure it's all perpendicular?
It's just a basic laser level. SUPER useful in all sorts of jobs. This one is a dewalt, costs around 150$ I would recommend it!
the dark green is reminds me of victor newman's office on Y&R---- very luxurious looking 🥰
u did a great job! Overall i think i will do a dark wall. Ones that are light just dont look good for an office nook. The dark color anchors the space.
Thank you so much! hah I had to google that I must admit.. he's so much more suave then me tho - fits the office better ;) Good luck with your office. Thanks for watching :)
LOL. Love the Victor Newman reference.
What is the weight bearing load of the floating shelves? How would you accurately assess the total weight of books you could safely put on those shelves and before it all comes down?
No way to really tell. I could hang my own weight on there with no issues. Probably would be even stronger had I put in side stringers to carry the load. Not planning on putting anything super heavy so it never bothered me.
08:03 how did you fix those wall scratches on the right? Doing a repaint will show changes in color right?
Hi! No it's not an issue. Once everything was in place, I did a quick patch with mud and painted a few layers over it. This line of paint is really good to blend.
This is crazy, I’m from Ottawa too and just randomly stumbled across your video while looking at different desk builds
Right on! Thanks for watching!
Super sir loved it very much 👍💯❤️🇺🇸
Thank you so much 😀 Glad you liked it!
This is awesome, I love the design, color, and layout. Well done!
Thanks a bunch! Happy you like it :)
You're very talented and this looks really good! I'm going to try to follow this video and hopefully be just as successful. Thank you for sharing!!!!!
Thanks dude! Good luck!
Definitely hands down the best office makeover on YT!!! I've been looking for a sexy office and this is at the top of the list. Great job 👏🏽
wow sweet! Thanks for the compliment. Glad you like it!
Great job! What 3D software did you use?
This was all designed in SketchUp and rendered with VRAY.
looks sick! great work. i like it a lot
Thanks man! Appreciate it.
Loved this!
Thanks, Beck! Glad you liked it.
