Corian is although VERY expensive. Cool that you can make seamless intersections between different blocks. I wanted to make my bathroom looking like it were carved out of one single piece. :-)

Been tempted to go on a training course on how to use Corian. I think it's the future and very few people it seems have caught onto this material.

one of the most important things you can do is to determine what materials you will be building with, and then learning what challenges you will be faced with regarding structural integrity, joinery, etc. these aspects strongly dictate how you want to approach your design.
as for what to use to design in, i use QuickCad from AutoDesk. Obviously, a more robust CAD app. would be better, but this seems to suit my needs just fine.
while you would miss out on some of the nice automatic dimensioning features, etc., I don't see any reason why Illustrator wouldn't work for you.
