ABOUT TANGIER (IN-FRAME RAW BIRCH PLY & LAMINATE KITCHEN)

Introducing Tangier — a minimalist, clean-lined bespoke kitchen crafted to make the most of simplicity, good materials and clever design. Built by Wood Works Brighton, this project proves that a kitchen doesn’t have to be flashy to be fine: it can be beautifully functional, understated, and built with integrity.

From the very first conversation to the final installation, Tangier was envisioned as a kitchen with honest materials and tailored construction. By using raw birch plywood carcasses and laminate surfaces, we delivered a kitchen that’s durable, easy to maintain and looks effortlessly calm. The in-frame joinery emphasises clean lines, craftsmanship, and a subtle aesthetic that lets the wood speak for itself.

This kitchen is a demonstration of how bespoke kitchen design can marry modesty and quality — offering a practical, handcrafted kitchen solution that respects material, budget, and sustainability without compromising on style or build integrity.

 

KITCHEN HIGHLIGHTS

  1. A refined in-frame design with exposed birch-ply edges and laminate finishes — celebrating simplicity and the natural beauty of plywood.
  2. A design that prioritises functionality and longevity — using plywood and laminate to create a kitchen that’s robust, easy to maintain and built for daily use.
  3. A clear, minimalist aesthetic — ideal for those who appreciate clean, crafted spaces over ornate details or unnecessary frills.

KITCHEN DETAILS

  • Cabinet carcasses & structure — built from high-quality raw birch plywood, cut and assembled in-frame, providing strength, durability and a natural, honest material foundation for the kitchen.
  • Surfaces & Doors — and laminate-faced doors/surfaces, balancing practicality and wear-resistance with a straightforward, easy-care finish ideal for kitchens that see plenty of everyday action.
  • Handles & Details — minimal or built-in handles / cut-out pulls designed to complement the pared-back aesthetic; subtle details that keep the overall look clean-lined and unfussy.
  • Bespoke construction & layout — each unit, shelf and dimension tailored to the space — ensuring a fitted kitchen that works hard for its footprint and avoids wasted space.

 

WHY TANGIER EMBODIES GOOD BESPOKE & SUSTAINABLE KITCHEN DESIGN

Tangier is a perfect example of a kitchen built with intention: honest materials, considered design, and a bespoke build process that respects both practicality and quality. By using birch plywood and laminate, we deliver a kitchen that’s cost-effective — yet still handcrafted, durable, and built to last.

This project shows that bespoke kitchens aren’t always about luxury or extravagance — sometimes, they’re about craftsmanship, clarity of purpose, and creating a space that fits real life. Tangier represents the quiet strength of custom-made kitchen design done right.
