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.

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.
