Ann Taylor San Francisco, California Ann Taylor Union Square is the west coast flagship store for this prominent high end women's clothing retailer. The lighting for the four story, 25,000 square foot store in the heart of San Francisco's prestigious shopping district is simple, understated but elegant, reinforcing the Ann Taylor image. The lighting concept uses areas of light and shadow to identify and reinforce the ideas of pathway, pause points and perimeter display. The lighting complies with California's strict energy regulations without comprising it's contribution to effective merchandising and the owner's carefully tailored image.
