Anne is a 42 year old,divorced, mother of one living in the high-rises with her daughter and Siamese cat.  She is a city council member, Cone Hospital volunteer and practices the Quaker religion.  She chose to live at Centerpointe because she had and interest in downtown revitalization and she brings with her a collection of an hundred perfume bottles.

pastel glass+light interacting with materiality
feminine+whimsical+found objects
a whimsical way to play with lighting : like lots of little blossoms of light
these simple muted tones are feminine and earthy
emphasis on oversized, white, fanciful light 
emphasis on colorful simple art arrangement
When Rome became a rich and prosperous city, perfume became an exaggeration of luxury and social class.   :  a sign the city and economy had blossomed.
While sound was important in Jon + Ed's condo, Annes is more about scent.  The concept for this home is all about blossoming.  Blossoming does more than relate to the scent of her perfume collection but also from her interest in downtown revitalization and the city council in the flourishing of the downtown and city life.  It gives a sense of femininity

Material : tinted glass , dappled glass, and rustic woods and finishes, silks, velvets and antique finds,  transparent materials like that of the perfume bottles, antiqued silver mirrors and whimsical,ornate  and feminine in details.

Light :  whimsy and playfulness with natural light through materiality

Color : muted pastel like colors mixed with metal tones and patina finishes
