Outside the store, a densely planted garden features teak tables and chairs that seamlessly reference the interior architecture. The “Genius Grove” allows customers to enjoy the Miami weather while waiting for their appointments. The flight of interior steps is outfitted with leather seating and charging stations. A large terraced seating area anchors one end of the store, allowing guests to relax while waiting for their Genius Bar appointments or to secure space for an in-store event. Inside Apple Ventura, the ground-floor is decked out with rows of elongated wooden tables that serve as Apple’s signature product displays. The large retail space can host Apple Music events and more. The idea was first introduced within Apple’s Cupertino headquarters, also known as Apple Park, in 2017. The result is a light-filled Apple store that actually breaks a big design boundary for the tech giant: Of all its retail spaces, the building is the only one to use precast concrete as a predominant structural material. Per other Apple stores, this one boasts floor-to-ceiling glass windows, revealing all the activity within the stop. The entire structure is held up by steel columns each covered with another thin architectural precast column that’s also painted white. (Nigel Young/Foster + Partners)Īccording to Foster + Partners, the wavy roof design was made from seven precast concrete arches that together form a barrel-vaulted ceiling. White acoustical fabric covers the ceiling to keep noise at a minimum. It is also quintessentially Apple, marrying the outdoor lifestyle with a sense of freedom and creativity that is intrinsic to the way we work.” “Its special trees, the light, and the new roof. “This store is very ‘Miami’ to me,” said Ive. They said the building’s exterior design mimics Miami’s white art deco-style architecture, as well as its nautical design scene.

Twenty-foot-wide concrete arches form the store’s barrel-vaulted ceiling. “We love the honesty and purity of the concrete,” said Stefan Behling, head of studio at Foster + Partners in a press release. But the undulating white concrete roof evokes a certain feeling of fluidity in the bayside shopping center that doesn’t exist elsewhere. It is, in fact, boxy and of course includes trees inside. Located in a new wing of the posh Aventura Mall, the two-story building isn’t a huge departure from the firm’s other work for Apple. Apple Aventura in Aventura, north of Miami is a piece of actual mall architecture that ripples above and beyond its predecessors in terms of design. This store is said to borrow heavily from Miami’s architectural design.Foster + Partners has broken out of its traditional glass-box bubble and designed a different kind of Apple Store-one that’s arguably distinct because it wasn’t built in a major city center, or within another development (and doesn’t resemble a Macbook). There are arched panes of glass that enclose each of the Apple Stores seven vaults thus creating a transparent barrier between the interior and exterior. The new Apple Aventura features playful waves of white concrete that have been sculpted rhythmically to draw your sights across the skyline which then tapers to a sharp peak at both ends. This new Apple Store has opened in an all-new location with an all-new design and it’s a part of a fabled tale that is without a doubt the most chilled out Apple Store in the Southeastern part of the United States. The latter of which is one of Apple’s most prized products and located on Florida’s southern shores, customers have recently celebrated the grand opening of the Apple Aventura that’s situated just outside Miami. This includes iPhones to iPads and Apple Watch to Apple Stores. Apple has traditionally considered everything they build or manufacturer as a part of its product portfolio.
