Apple Union Square
San Francisco
A collaboration between Apple's design team and London-based architecture and
design firm Foster + Partners, Apple Union Square in San Francisco features massive
sliding glass doors on either side of the store, which opens it up to bustling Union
Square on one side, and a tranquil garden on the other. Supported by a giant steel
truss structure that bridges over the neighboring hotel basement ballroom, the twolevel store was seismically engineered and features a cantilevered mezzanine floor
that gives the impression of a floating stage in the center of the space.
