About Ghanzi
When Laura and John found themselves let down by another kitchen supplier mid-way through their self-build renovation, they turned to Woodworks Brighton to bring their vision to life. With moodboards and ideas in hand, Laura reached out—and we were excited to step in and take on this ambitious, multi-room project.
We designed and handcrafted the main family kitchen, as well as the laundry room, utility room, and boot room, all with a cohesive design language. The unifying aesthetic centred around a slim shaker door style infused with a Japandi-inspired tone—blending minimalism, warmth, and refined functionality.
At the heart of the kitchen is a generously sized island with built-in seating, offering space for both casual dining and connection. A bespoke breakfast bar and drinks cabinet—complete with slide-and-hide pocket doors—adds a layer of discreet luxury. Beyond the main kitchen, large double doors lead to a hidden pantry and laundry room, allowing for seamless movement and smart storage.
Each element was carefully considered, with bespoke joinery that complements the family’s lifestyle and overall design vision. This thoughtfully crafted space now offers a calm, beautiful hub for daily life.
