ABOUT LUANDA

Introducing Luanda — a serene yet characterful hand-painted Shaker kitchen thoughtfully designed and handcrafted by Wood Works Brighton for a luxury new-build home in Ivy Hatch.

Luanda blends traditional Shaker style with a fresh, contemporary twist. The soft sage-green and subtle pink palette gives this kitchen a gentle, inviting atmosphere that remains elegant and timeless. It’s a kitchen that honours the heritage of shaker cabinetry — yet feels completely personal, bespoke and modern.

A standout feature of this kitchen is the hidden walk-in pantry: a generous, light-filled storage sanctuary that keeps food, pantry supplies and serveware neatly tucked away — supporting clean surfaces and uncluttered living.

With crafted birch-ply cabinetry, a crisp white quartz worktop and thoughtfully chosen brass cup handles, Luanda is every bit the refined, artisanal kitchen — built to be lived in, enjoyed, and last a lifetime.

 

KITCHEN HIGHLIGHTS

  1. A classic Shaker kitchen with a refreshing and harmonious sage-green & pink colour scheme — soft, calm and stylish.
  2. Crisp white quartz worktops that brighten the space and contrast beautifully with the painted cabinetry for a clean, timeless finish.
  3. A hidden walk-in pantry — generous, well-lit storage space that keeps clutter out of sight and enhances usability.

KITCHEN DETAILS

  • Cabinetry: Hand-crafted in birch plywood, then hand-painted — combining the durability and clean lines of high-quality plywood with the bespoke flexibility of a custom painted finish.
  • Worktops: White quartz surfaces — hardwearing, striking and low-maintenance, perfect for everyday use while contributing to the kitchen’s bright, elegant look.
  • Hardware & Fittings: Classic brass cup handles — chosen for their timeless aesthetic, adding warmth and subtle character that complements the painted cabinetry.
  • Layout & Storage: Hidden walk-in pantry — a tailored storage solution that maintains clean lines in the main kitchen area while offering generous capacity for food, wine and serveware.

 

WHY LUANDA IS A TRUE BESPOKE SHAKER KITCHEN

Luanda demonstrates the strength of bespoke kitchen design: a hand-crafted kitchen made to measure, rooted in traditional Shaker principles but realised with contemporary sensibility and quality materials. The custom painted cabinetry, high-end finishes, and thoughtful layout — especially the hidden pantry — show how a kitchen can be both beautiful and highly functional.

This is more than a cooking space: it’s a handcrafted kitchen built to fit the home, lifestyle and personality of its owners — combining style, durability and mindful design choices, from materials to layout to finishing touches.
