“My favorite aspect of the project would have to be the custom-built planter/light box suspended over the island bench,” says interior designer Kate Lucas. “The cascading plants bring a gorgeous green accent to the interiors.

The kitchen cabinets were clad in Russian birch plywood, and the countertops were concrete.
