About Anne

Author, Designer, Architect, Spiritual Director

As a certified spiritual director (someone trained to listen to a person's spiritual story), Anne Knorr brings a unique perspective to designing the built environment. Her architectural practice in Boulder, Colorado specializes in home design where she enjoys engaging clients in the creative process. Her skills as a spiritual director have enhanced her ability to listen carefully to her clients and to create projects that not only meet their functional needs but also reflect their personalities and their dreams. Anne received her Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Kansas in 1982. As the principal of an architectural firm, she has over 20 years of experience as an architect and her award winning home designs have been displayed in the Architects Showcase in Boulder County and in Better Homes and Garden's Winter, 2001 special edition.

"Like a piece of art that needs the right frame to bring out its best qualities, Anne's work with sacred spaces helped encourage some dreams and desires that lay dormant until they were exposed to the proper light and nurturing care... The home we are now creating and the spaces within it are informed and nurtured by the awareness we gained with Anne's help."
