Planning Board Rendering Unveils New Glass-Enclosed Apple Store For Standford

The Palo Alto online has unearthed plans for a new glass-enclosed retail store going in near the current Standford mini-store at the Stanford Shopping Center.

It is rumoured that it will have three floors to ceiling glass walls enclosing the front of the store with a visually free-floating white roof overhead. What makes this store unique, is the interior.

In the middle of the store, it appears that Apple's architects have placed a stone wall that seperates the store into two distinct areas. A front area enclosed by glass walls, and a rear space that will include the standard Apple Retail Store product tables and counters.

Palo Alto Online said:

"One seasoned industry observer who had viewed the early drawings called the building design exquisite. "It makes an elegant and dramatic statement. It is destined to become Apple's flagship store," he said. The structure features a tall glass cube with an overhang that extends well beyond the building. "It makes the space between the outside and the inside almost indistinguishable," the source said, adding that it will bear some similarity to New York's Apple Store Fifth Avenue, which also has a distinctive glass cube as an entrance."

 Overall, this new store looks very stylish and unique.
