New Beijing’s Apple Store with a Chinese architecture
Benjamin Wood is an American-born designer that will architect the Apple’s second retail store for Beijing, the China’s capital city. Wood’s portfolio presents several 3D renderings of the new location, which he describes as “in progress.” The Beijing Apple Store is scheduled to open as soon as this fall and would stand in stark opposition to the Sanlitun Apple Store.
The Chinese Apple Store would be dominated by very traditional Chinese architecture for its 100-foot length with historical roofing and dark wood supports; one end would be rounded off. In the middle, however, would be the glass facade now familiar with Apple’s flagship stores as well as a prominent, hanging Apple logo. Inside, the store would again be a mix of old and new with wood supports but Apple’s distinctive spiral glass staircase and swaths of metal.
