I’ve always been impressed with the architecture of Apple Computer’s retail stores. After visiting many Apple Stores in multiple different countries, such as the glass-roofed store on Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica, the store tucked into Covent Garden in London, and their store in the basement of The Louvre in Paris, their 5th Avenue store in New York City is my favorite.
The glass cube provides a feeling of calm in the hustle and bustle of New York City and brings a modern look to the corner of 5th Avenue and 58th Street. At night the cube glows from the lights in the downstairs retail area.
After entering the store, visitors walk down the glass stairs into the main retail area.
