Fresh air is drawn through the integrated structural spine before being expelled out through the roof. Taking advantage of San Francisco’s moderate climate, the steel framed glass sliding doors, measuring 20.5 foot by 42 foot on the south side and 20.5 foot by 26.5 foot to the north, encourage natural ventilation throughout the store. The art-filled plaza offers seating, public Wi-Fi, a 50-foot tall “green wall” and regular acoustic performances. The building’s unique position connects San Francisco’s most famous square to a rejuvenated plaza to the north, creating a beautiful gathering place for the community. “We are not just evolving our store design, but its purpose and greater role in the community as we educate and entertain visitors and serve our network of local entrepreneurs.”Īpple Union Square’s glass doors open the store to Post Street and Union Square. “Fifteen years ago today Apple opened its first two stores and we’re thrilled to mark the occasion with the opening of Apple Union Square in San Francisco,” said Angela Ahrendts, Apple’s senior vice president of Retail and Online Stores. Apple has unveiled its new store on San Francisco’s Union Square designed in collaboration with UK architecture firm Foster + Partners. The new store opens its signature 42-foot tall sliding glass doors to customers and offers many new features and service rolling out to Apple retails stores worldwide.
