What people say

Our experience of Uncommon Projects, from start to finish, was positive. They visited before the old kitchen was removed and helped us re-imagine the space and use it in a much more effective way.

What people say

The team was knowledgeable, professional and experienced, and able to give valuable and much needed advice on kitchen layout/worktop space – which has resulted in a kitchen that is not only beautiful but so functional for us.

What people say

We are delighted with our Uncommon Projects kitchen. The team has been great to work with and the process from design to installation was faultless. Every team member that we interacted with had the same commitment to perfection.

What people say

Great job, very well planned, on time, on budget, no surprises!   The team were courteous and kept disruption to a minimum. Beautiful end result.

What people say

We've been in very safe hands every step of the way throughout the process, from initial discussions, site visits and survey, design and installation, their team are hugely professional.

Why ply?

Plywood is strong, durable and attractive. An engineered wood, its multiple layers are bonded together with the grain running in alternating directions to produce boards resistant to changes in temperature and humidity. Long admired by fans of modernism (like us), ply’s clean, natural aesthetic remains popular with contemporary designers, architects and makers.
